Toxic Metals in Tampons

Recent research highlights alarming levels of toxic metals, like arsenic and lead, found in tampons, raising significant public health concerns. The study conducted by Berkeley scientists revealed that exposure to these metals, which can lead to serious health issues such as infertility, dementia, and cancer, is particularly concerning for women due to the vaginal tissue's higher absorption capacity. Notably, both organic and non-organic tampons were found to contain harmful substances, with surprising levels of arsenic recorded in organic options, contradicting the assumption that organic products are safer. This information underscores the need for women to reconsider their menstrual health products and explore safer alternatives.
