Recent tests have found alarming levels of glyphosate, a toxic pesticide, in tampons across several popular UK brands, with concentrations 40 times over the safe limit set for drinking water. Experts are urging women to be aware of the potential health risks as the chemical, linked to cancer and Parkinson's, enters the bloodstream more directly through vaginal absorption. Campaigners call for greater transparency and regulation in the manufacturing of period products to ensure women's health is adequately protected.
If this level of glyphosate is deemed to be unsafe in the water we drink, why is it allowed to appear in our period products?
Pesticides end up in period products after being used to grow cotton, which is the main ingredient in tampons.
