The simplest way to mentally capture why you should never wear synthetic clothing is this: petroleum is the most bioactive substance we know of, so bioactive that the entire pharmaceutical industry is powered by it, and now you've wrapped your entire body in it. 24/7 xenoestrogen donation (and more) to the largest organ of the body.

Great point. How many studies showing xenoestrogenic effects from various synthetic polymers do we need to finally conclude that they're all likely fucking us up? Plastics gotta go.

And then, because plastic clothing can burst into a fireball because it's made of petroleum, it has to be saturated in fire retardant chemicals.

Yeah I forgot about that factor. Micronized petroleum coating on fibrous petroleum. Just think about how many microplastic particles are broken off in high friction areas like the armpits and groin. Spooky.

I can attest. Life changing. Another bonus is less body odor and static build up

Damn, even more stuff to pay attention to!? 😅
