New testing on a variety of popular branded sports bras and athletic wear has revealed high levels of BPA, a chemical compound that’s used to make certain types of plastic and can lead to harmful health effects such as asthma, cardiovascular disease and obesity.

In adults, exposure to BPA has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity and erectile dysfunction. Premature death was also associated with BPA exposure, a 2020 study found. More recently, BPA has also been linked to asthma in school-age girls. “People are exposed to BPA through ingestion, from eating food or drinking water from containers that have leached BPA, or by absorption through skin,” Kaya Allan Sugerman, CEH’s illegal toxic threats program director, said in a statement.

Exercise for health. Is it healthy to exercise in these clothes?

You gals should just go braless for your own health and safety! 😆

Good thing I just don't wear bras at all!

Yeah ok

Garments were made w cotton, wool, silk or combinations of these. Man came up w an idea to use Oil, polymers & combinations to make fabrics, clothing mass produced around the world w shortcuts limited safeguards. POISON Bras Deodorants Food Medicine Water Containers Its DOOM.

Elbette😊

Oh please. BPA is in all the clothing that use synthetic materials.

Where are these sports Bras made? Is there a common thread? These retailers don’t manufacture there branded clothing.

Guys! Stop taking bras off with your teeth.

The scariest part of BPA is that it can be absorbed through the skin and wind up in the bloodstream, which is made worse during physical activity

Any thing to keep away the accusations of a harmful vaccine
