Now to be fair, this is not a peer reviewed article that clearly links various additives put into polyester with clear harms to human health, but apparently a lot of workout clothes--especially those for women--are showing up with a lot of endocrine disrupters like bisphenol-A, PFAS, and the like.
The hypothesis is that even small doses do enough "endocrine disruption" to do things like cause (or worsen) endometriosis, reduce sperm counts, and cause other reproductive issues. So apparently a lot of workout clothes are not just tacky, but also might be harmful to current and future generations.
The irony is that the mantra for my kids in cross country is "cotton kills" due to its ability to absorb water, but in reality, the opposite might be closer to the truth. Pray that I will not become too smug in my love of natural fiber clothing!

Ladies first, I assume? Especially powerlifting ladies first?
Hope that ankle is healing well!
Thanks Bike. :) Obsessive natural fiber ladies first? But I know your wife is OG, so I'll let her in line first.
It's slow, but thanks for asking. Turns out your Achilles tendon is attached to absolutely everything.
