SHOCKING! Harmful Dyes in Many Products
VIDEO: Guess where other than clothes dyes are in? Find out in the video below.
It was not until the 1800s that people truly began living in color. This does not relate to color TVs, but rather, dyed clothes.
People realized they were cheap to produce, bright, easily applied to clothing fabric and could absorb the color quickly. The color craze persisted and before we knew it, natural dye died and everyone embraced the artificial.
This new exciting world of synthetically-colored clothing that thrives today in 2015 has its fair share of disadvantages. The harmful effects of synthetic dyes offer a fair share of concerns for health, as well as the environment.
WHY SYNTHETIC DYES ARE DANGEROUS
The most common chemicals used in synthetic clothing dyes include aniline, formaldehyde, dioxin, etc. These chemicals are toxic, explosive and carcinogenic. Those who think they are safe just because they wear synthetic clothes every now and then are wrong. What one does not know is that their skin absorbs all the chemicals that end up accelerating health problems.
When these toxins are absorbed from clothing, they are taken into the lymphatic system, the bloodstream and lastly, the central organ responsible for detoxification, the liver. Over time, they end up suffocating an individual’s skin and end up shutting down the toxin release process entirely. Picture your body becoming unable to get rid of all the harmful toxins inside it.
These chemicals also have their effect on the environment. Some companies fail to dispose of their waste properly and neglect proper recycling practices. They end up dumping it into rivers or, if they do recycle, manage to separate the water and toxic waste without knowing what to do with all the sledge. In the past, some companies have confessed to dumping almost 20,000 tons of sledge in rivers.
When these chemicals are dumped into the ground, they end up impacting groundwater and the soil. This is the same soil that is meant to grow the vegetables that you consume every now and then. The air and wildlife are also affected by the synthetic dyes in our clothes.
SIDE-EFFECTS OF WEARING SYNTHETICALLY COLORED CLOTHING
The adverse symptoms of synthetically colored clothing usually start in a very subtle way. You get a rash on the skin under a colored area of your garment that was probably too tight or hung a bit too close. This rash irritates you for a day or two before you decide to apply some ‘miracle’ moisturizer. After that doesn’t work, a visit to the dermatologist is probably your last hope. It is at the doctor’s office that you will learn your rash is highly cancerous. Other symptoms include:
Inflammation
Difficulty in breathing
Nausea
Blurry vision
Burning
Unexplained fatigue
Pain in the soft tissues, etc.
Reddening of the cheeks
Dark circles right below the eyes, etc.
