A recent report reveals that glyphosate, a toxic pesticide linked to cancer, has been detected in tampons at levels significantly exceeding the legal limit for drinking water. This research was conducted by the Pesticide Action Network UK (Pan UK) and highlights how glyphosate, classified as probably carcinogenic by the World Health Organization, poses immediate health risks. The findings stir concerns as the chemical can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through vaginal use. While the testing was limited, it reflects broader issues regarding chemical safety in everyday products.
Researchers found traces of glyphosate at high levels in menstrual products, with one box tested containing levels 40 times higher than the legal limit for drinking water.
Glyphosate, classified by WHO as probably carcinogenic, is a toxic pesticide linked to serious health issues, raising concerns over its presence in tampons.
