A member asked:

I'm looking to buy a sauna suit. does neoprene cause cancer like people who don't have medical degrees say?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: These "pop" claims are made up, probably by the manufacturers of sports and relaxation clothes that do not include neoprene. I'm sorry the world is full of crooks.
