How was Greenpeaces.study conducted that they found so much issues with Shein? Did they have flaws in their study or are they just being untrue?

I honestly don’t know. We’ve asked, but the answers were pretty vague. I do know the sample size was very small, and there’s definitely some bias in how it was conducted, said respectfully.

AliExpress is fine to use. I’d just avoid things like supplements or batteries since those can be lower quality or less reliable.

What's your opinion in like. Rat testing. I feel like it's ridiculous because like..they inject crazy amounts of x thing into rats and go "that must mean it causes cancer in humans!"
I mean obviously it's unethical to study like this on humans but rats genuinely just seem so prone to this stuff already and definitely moreso than humans. It feels like it isn't the best way to say what will happen to humans. I specifically understand testing on them in medical studies for... Well, medication. But things we don't even ingest or inject???

Also
I saw a stat that says 1/5 people will get cancer but 1/3 with a family member with cancer will get it. Is that true?

I have OCD
And I constantly think people are lying

I obsess over carcinogens (I bought stuff from shein a year ago and still haven't opened it bc I heard there's carcinogenic stuff in it? I bought some acrylic stands, a few keychains, and a little plush)

I get annoyed easily due to it

I can't take reassurance. What do I do?

Go see a Psychiatrist, if you have insurance coverage.You may be suffering from a condition called Paranoid Schizophrenia. I am not sure. But, you definitely need professional help.
Get well soon dear. You will be fine.

I have GAD. I never knew I was anxious until I took a complete Panic Attack at 60 years old. I had been anxious since I was 5 years old, so I just assumed it was normal to be like me. I take an anti anxiety drug now, because the anxiety has been getting worse. I was becoming agoraphobic, because I was terrified of driving. Pretty distressing. I use CBT skills to help me as well, but I need the medication too. I hope things get better for you. There is hope.
