According to a watchdog, recent tests on popular athletic wear revealed high levels of BPA, a chemical that has been linked to heart disease, obesity, cancer, infertility, and type 2 diabetes. The watchdog states BPA is primarily found in clothes that contain polyester and spandex. They're now recommending people not wear these types of clothes for too long. “We want brands to reformulate their products to remove all bisphenols including BPA. In the interim, we recommend limiting the time you spend in your activewear by changing after your workout,” says the group.
