In recent independent studies done by cancer research toxicologists in Southern California where the rich and famous pride themselves on being skinny… the recent craze taking over the minds of extreme weight loss enthusiast have caused scientist to look into the health pros and cons of wearing a sauna suit.
Those who have worn the plastic suits know that in fact they do work when it comes to cutting down on quick water weight gain, and even permanently removing those stubborn fat pockets. However due to some recent health conditions noticed and reported from medical professions there seems to be some health risk involved that could prove to be toxic.
In their research, toxicologist tested 4 different types of sauna suits for chemicals that are not particularly healthy for contact with the human body. The sauna suits that were tested are as follows:
Everlast Super Sweat Hooded Sauna Suit
Realsauna Sauna Suit
Golds Gym Sauna Suit
Kutting Weight Sauna Suit
Out of all four of the sauna suits that were tested, the only one that came back with toxic levels of lead was the popular Kutting Weight Sauna Suit that resembles a wet suit that divers use to hold body heat in cold water temperatures. This suit was tested and high levels of lead were found that could lead to toxic effects in human blood causing cancer in kidneys, and reproductive systems. The other three suits were found to be safe and non toxic, containing only the regular plastic elements found in baby bottles. Kutting weight Sauna Suit is mainly made of Neoprene and that is the toxic culprit. Final findings indicate that sauna suits are generally safe to use, but that the Kutting Weight Sauna Suit should probably be avoided at all cost since the lead levels of the neoprene are extremely toxic and could possibly cause cancer.
