Polyester is a synthetic plastic fiber worn in constant contact with the skin, and scientists are taking a closer look at how this exposure may influence human health. Many synthetic fabrics contain chemical additives such as phthalates, substances already linked to disruptions in hormonal balance.

Researchers believe potential fertility effects may result from both chemical and physical mechanisms. As polyester fibers degrade, they can release microplastics that remain in close contact with the skin and may enter the body through prolonged, repeated exposure.

Static electricity is another area of growing interest. Polyester naturally generates continuous electrostatic charges, and early research suggests these low-level fields could subtly affect biological processes when exposure occurs over long periods.

Animal studies, including research involving dogs, have shown reduced fertility after extended exposure to polyester garments, with normal fertility returning once the material was removed. Although direct evidence in humans remains limited, these findings raise important questions about the long-term biological impact of everyday synthetic materials.

Turkey Tail and Cordyceps are being removed from our shelves. Soon you will not be able to purchase them online or in any shop in the UK under the new novel foods ruling. If you don't have enough to get angry about just now then this is worth a view. It will massively impact supplement and mushroom business' in the UK. Medical Herbalists are still able to prescribe but there are caveats.
