Seconded.

It doesn't matter to me, (bamboo rayon has benefits over cotton rayon, so I'd consider them the same/different depending on what you're talking about), but I think this bit is important to bear in mind:

Quote: However, once made into rayon, it would be difficult, or maybe the better word is impossible, to identify the source of that cellulose. So my understanding is that the FTC commission is allowing labels to read "rayon from bamboo" but you have to trust the source that the rayon really is from bamboo, as there is no proof other than the word of the manufacturer for the fact that the original cellulose came from bamboo.

...especially if you're ever dealing with a manufacturer who you are not sure is completely trustworthy.
