Good news for Mums and Dads watching the pennies - Tesco's just started selling babywear made from 100% organic cotton. The clothes are made by Green Baby, who've been in the business of selling organic outfits to chubby-faced British kids for six years, so it should be good quality stuff as well as cheap. The range is being stocked in 40 stores - see if there's one near you here.
Sounds like an old wives' tale to me. Half of the world's population would have dropped dead by now if it was true!

Maybe thave - but in an undetected way - always blaming other causes!

I am currently doing a report for my fashion company about ethical clothing, I think its great that Tesco are doing organic baby clothes. I think people are unnaware how many chemicals are in clothing, right from pesticides in cotton production through to flame proof finishes. There is a national obsession with organic food, but whenever I talk to mothers about organic clothes for their baby they do not see it as a serious problem. Anybody who has any more information about this type of thing, or has any links to alternatives to cotton or chemical cotton please email me, the help would be very much appreciated for my research!

Am I correct in remembering a few years ago there was a report that said cotton (organic or otherwise) contains a very slow acting poison that leaches into human skin causing eventual death. The effect over centuries is that many deaths have remained unexplained, being put down as 'old age.' Would anyone who remembers this story please tell me whether this has been disproved. Nonetheless it's pretty inconsequential given that as things stand we all gotts go sometime! If it's painless I don't see any reason to knock it!
