Don't fall for this scam!

Your shirt might say 100% cotton, but watch what happens the second someone actually tests what it's made of. They scan it and it comes back 75% plastic and only 25% cotton. This is not a one-off deal. When regulators pulled a batch of clothes and tested them, more than a third didn't match their own tags. Real cotton costs more, so they blend it with a cheap synthetic and slap a natural label on the front because almost nobody ever checks. And here's why it matters. That hidden filler is plastic, polyester, nylon, elastane, and plastic clothing sheds. One shirt can throw off hundreds of thousands of tiny plastic fibers in a single wash. Those fibers wash into the water, float around the air of your home, and researchers are now pulling them out of human lungs and human blood. So stop trusting the tag by itself. Feel the fabric, wash your synthetics less, and when it really matters, like the stuff against your skin all day, go for real cotton, wool, or linen. And follow for more stuff that's hiding in plain sight.
