Should clothes have toxic warning labels?

Are the clothes you wear toxic?

This is the final article concerning clothes.  The first covered the toxins in Laundry Detergents, the second covered the toxins found in new clothes and this one covers the material clothes are made of.  Clothes made from material that is either man-made (synthetic) vs. material that comes from nature.  Guess which is toxic?

To give you a hint – I change my polyester “hoody” for a sweater made from cashmere guess which one is non-toxic and warmer?  The Cashmere sweater came from a garage sale for $5.00.  If it didn’t make me so warm, I would never take it off.  That in itself is amazing; because one of my symptoms with hypothyroidism is I’M ALWAYS COLD!!! I was always blowing on my hands summer or winter - Guess I was wearing the wrong clothes?

Clothes make our image

Ever since Adam and Eve, we have worn clothing to cover ourselves. Clothing and the fabric it is made of play a huge role in our life.  We want to look in fashion, in charge, cool and behind the game or in charge or in some cases not in charge. Clothes make our image to ourselves and others.  We also need clothing to protect ourselves from the elements and the world around us.  Clothes protect us from the sun, cold, weather and keep us warm.  From the time the caveman first began wearing fur, the world of clothing and the fabric from which it is made has changed.  Over the ages, a large selection of materials has been created and used. 

Are your clothes made of plastic?

In some places like California, people are busy banning plastic grocery bags, but what about the clothes on their back? Are they made of the same plastic?
