Recent findings by Berkeley Public Health indicate that toxic metals, prevalent in the environment, may also be found in menstrual products. Exposure to these metals is linked to serious health issues such as dementia, infertility, diabetes, and cancer. Researchers are urging for further investigation into how much of these metals leach from tampons and their potential absorption by the body. There are calls for manufacturers to improve safety and transparency regarding the presence of toxic metals in their products.
"Metals have been found to increase the risk of dementia, infertility, diabetes, and cancer."
"Although toxic metals are ubiquitous and we are exposed to low levels at any given time, our study clearly shows that metals are also present in menstrual products."
