Yes, rayon is made from bamboo and is very comfortable. I used to have quite a few tops made from rayon back in the 90s. The fabric is breathable and one of the coolest fabrics to wear in the heat of the summer plus it doesn’t wrinkle much like cotton. The problem with bamboo fabrics is the chemicals used to process the bamboo are toxic. So it’s better not to wear clothing made from those fabrics. Lyocell is another type of bamboo fabric and Tencel is a fabric made from the wood pulp of bamboo or some trees.

@AllelujahHaptism How do they sell any of the polluted things that are being sold all over the world??? There are thousands of things with toxic chemicals in them. We usually don’t find out until decades after we’ve used or consumed them. Two years ago I was diagnosed with two different types of cancer at the same time and a third one was developing. So many toxins in our water, food supply, hygiene items, clothing and environment.

@AllelujahHaptism I was anemic for more than 2 years despite getting tested, going to a doctor and taking iron supplements every day. It took me two years to get my iron levels to almost normal. Then I gradually came back to normal. What happened was during that time I was using two shades of lipsticks (L’Oréal Endless) that were later discontinued. I got my iron levels up after that. Then I read an article where an independent consumer agency tested a lot of different lipsticks and found 25 that had high levels of lead in it. They were discontinued after it was discovered but nothing in the news about it. I stopped taking iron and stopped being anemic. Lead is a potential carcinogen too. And chromium hexavalent and arsenic, very high levels of it were found in our city water supply. I wasn’t really surprised that I had cancer, it takes 25 years after having arsenic water every day for cancers to start developing.
