    High levels of toxic chemical found in sports bras, watchdog warns

    Sports bras sold by Athleta, PINK, Asics, The North Face, Brooks, All in Motion, Nike, and FILA were all tested for BPA in the past six months, and the results showed the clothing could expose wearers to up to 22 times the safe limit of BPA, based on standards set in California, according to the Center for Environmental Health. The CEH, which conducted the testing, is a non-profit consumer advocacy group focused on exposing the presence of toxic chemicals in consumer products.

     

    Our integumentary system (skin) absorbs chemicals and our kidneys and other organs have to clear this chemicals. A chemical overload can cause many conditions including cancer.
