Get A Handle On This: Your Vinyl Gloves Are Poisoning You.
Vinyl gloves are pumped with chemicals called phthalates.
Phthalates are used to make plastics more flexible. They make up almost 50% of the raw materials in vinyl gloves. You’re basically putting on a bundle of phthalates, not a pair of gloves.
So, why do we hate phthalates? ….Oh, where do we begin?
Phthalates seep through your skin when you wear the glove, not to mention they release plastics into water, food, soil and air, causing long term systemic toxicity.
For now, let’s focus on how they affect you:
Hormonal Harm
Extensive laboratory research concluded that exposure to phthalates reduces testosterone levels and leads to an array of male reproductive problems. Phthalates are also associated with changes to fertility, early puberty and risk of low birth weight.
Infant & Reproductive Harm
Phthalates are transferred from mother to fetus during pregnancy. Maternal exposure to phthalates during pregnancy can impair child brain development and increase children’s risks for learning, attention, and behavioral disorders.
Obesity & Diabetes Risk
Phthalates disrupt your metabolic process, with the potential to contribute to type II diabetes and insulin resistance and obesity.
Cancer Risk
A 2019 study found that a high level of exposure to a certain type of phthalate is associated with higher rates of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
A spectacular failure.
Not only were vinyl gloves found to have such glaring health problems, they don’t even do their job.
What if I told you that guy making your sandwich is wearing a pair of gloves that do almost nothing to shield you from the germs on his hands? Well, a study that compared the barrier integrity of latex, vinyl, and nitrile gloves in clinical use conditions found that vinyl gloves failed 12-61% of the time. Nitrile and latex gloves, by comparison, had a 0-4% failure rate. That means vinyl gloves don’t actually protect the wearer or consumer/patient against the pathogens that gloves are meant to shield them from.
