Polypropylene seems to be a fairly biologically safe plastic. It makes a great base layer. And we serve hot foods in it.

> If and how our workout clothes are leaching microplastics and endocrine disruptors directly into our bodies is theoretical, though
From the linked article.
Also, I'd love to hear this from an article that isn't published by goop
Looks like plastics can enter the body through sweat glands. I threw away all my polyester workout clothing (which I loved to use) because of this concern.
Call me paranoid but I'm going 100% cotton and linen. Not keen on getting my hormones disrupted by inhaling and absorbing microplastics!
