[@sesquipedalian8909]

I won't deny how scary it is that toxic metals can be found in tampons, nor how alarming how unregulated tampon manufacturing is, but I will put this from the actual study: "Although our study found the presence of toxic metals in tampons, future studies are necessary to assess whether metals can leach out of tampons and become bioaccessible for vaginal absorption. Thus, we cannot speculate on potential harm to the health of menstruators. It is critical that future studies evaluate the potential for metal leaching from tampons and uptake into the body. Previous studies have conducted risk assessments for other types of chemicals found in tampons, but generally came to discrepant conclusions about their risk to tampon users (Upson et al., 2022). A major obstacle in interpreting these risk assessments is the lack of data on the absorption of chemicals through the vaginal mucosa" The study particularly noted the presence of lead, arsenic and cadmium as metals of high risk to health, with lead having no safe levels of exposure, which matches what I found on both the CDC and WHO websites on lead poisoning. This isn't to say that tampons ARENT actually harmful, but that it's inconclusive that tampons can cause poisoning. It just means that tampon production needs to be researched and regulated better.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

That was what I was wondering and some of those metals are used by the body, so if a bit of iron, calcium, copper or zinc are absorbed, it's probably not an issue as the body needs some. The other ones like lead and arsenic though are something to worry about if the concentration is high enough to actually leach into the body.

[@katekramer7679]

I'm stunned there haven't already been studies about absorption. Would it not be easy to test this with some nontoxic element? I ask that sincerely, I don't know how feasible that is.

[@bramvanduijn8086]

Everything has a safe level of exposure, the guideline for Arsenic in drinking water is less than 10 parts per billion.

@@nicolasguacaneme It only covers most women, and onyl while they are within a certain age range, and even within that range not all of them menstruate.

[@bananascoaster1243]

I figure some is from the cotton grown on ground with high levels of lead and arsenic & may be unavoidable in the manufacturing process. Some may be avoidable and the dose makes the poison. Baby food imo also has WAY too much of this stuff. When you cut the teeth and funding of the EPA & FDA, this makes it also harder to regulate

Arsenic is an actual organic pesticide. Yes, organic pesticides just mean it is not lab derived and manufactured. Arsenic is used as an organic pesticide. Organic pesticides are usually more dangerous and worse for the environment since they are broad spectrum

[@ZachsMind]

1:19 when that lady started listing all those metals it reminded me of Tom Lehrer's "The Elements Song" which BTW I strongly recommend you look up cuz Tom Lehrer is a funny and brilliant singer songwriter. He takes the whole Periodic Table and lists them as lyrics to a song he wrote (okay it was Gilbert and Sullivan but). That helped me pass science classes in both high school and college. If you need to memorize all the elements for any reason, Tom Lehrer's your man. But i digress..

You post supervisor needs to tell the editor sending these to KZbin to turn down the bummer music at the end.

Ok, but half those minerals are in water. I’m not saying it’s good that they are in tampons, but even water can be considered safe to drink with small enough quantities of lead and “dangerous” things. So I’m just wondering if this is minor traces. I will have to do some googling.

[@asterismos5451]

The tampon chemical thing is being blown way out of proportion and people are jumping to conclusions prematurely. Not that it's impossible for this to be an issue but the study this is all coming from found these chemicals in very very, very small amounts, like probably it's just from the cotton growing in soil that has chemicals in it like all soil does. There's no reason to believe yet that this is harmful. It's very much a "further study needed" situation. So understandable if anyone wants to take a break from tampons until we know for sure but like probably you're completely fine.

[@annapintor2648]

1:46 im not sure I care about magnesium and calcium 😂 I mean I take that on purpose! But seriously, arsenic c is also in many water supplies. It depends on wether it’s below recommended doses. Arsenic is needed by our bodies in very very small doses. Everything is toxic if it’s above recommended levels of intake, even water and oxygen. So unless I see the actual levels it was found at I’m not concerned.
