That’s the logical thing to do but unfortunately we’ve known about tampons containing a plethora of cancer-causing chemicals and metals for a long time. Only now getting mainstream attention. Idk why now and not years ago when so many people were screaming it from the rooftops. I hate to say it but if the past and present is any indication, this will merely disappear in the news cycle and most people will have never heard about it. And the poisoning of women goes on 😵💫
For more perspective: for how many decades do women need menstrual products? For me it was 4 decades that’s a long time to potentially be exposed to toxic metals. Why would there be any toxic metals in tampons? How about pads? Have they been tested? I suppose there is no way to know if there has always been toxic metals in tampons.
I know you heard someone's grandma say not to use tampons at some point. Should've listened. Wait, I think you're supposed to be the grandma warning others. You have failed.
The fact that anyone is downplaying, this is absolute insanity. Are you telling me that there's any acceptable level of heavy metals in goddamn tampons? What is wrong with you people
Using biosolids - sewage sludge - on agricultural lands has become widespread in the USA. It is full of heavy metals and forever chemicals, which contaminates the plants or animals that are raised on the land.
@@scrubjay93thank you for this information. As a man I feel sickened for women that have been exposed to metals inside of their vaginas. Holy crap this is horrible. I’m sorry ladies and thank you for having the ability to have children.
I’ve seen polyester aka plastic listed in the tampon ingredients. There’s lymph nodes in that area of the body which is why I’ve switched to an organic cotton product to avoid the polyester.
You need to watch a more detailed segment on this problem the reason they state that the organic products had the highest amount out of all of them. Which of course is frigging shocking we typically assume organic is safe/good. You can find the clips on national news channels on YT.
Probably even in underwear you people ever read the ingredients on a package of underwear, tee-shirt or socks 🤔 see the crap they put in those things 😢
@@michelleslack9985 hey Karen take it down a notch. It's not a recipe for death soup, it's what the product is made of, and 'probably' means you didn't read it either. You're not supposed to eat it. It's underwear and socks. You wear them. You ever read the ingredients of edible underwear? Ingredients: Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose, Monoacetin, Artificial Flavor, contains 2% or less of the following: Potassium Stearate, Saccharin (a non-nutritive sweetener), Pr Glycol Monostearate, Starch. and Artificial Color. See? It's fine. So is the rest of your underwear and just like the rest of your clothes that are safe to wear, don't eat them. You should worry about the ingredients of what you ate today and what you plan to eat tomorrow because that will kill you. There are no underwear fatalities that I know of but if it makes you feel comfortable, you don't have to wear them at all.
Wasn't this talked about during the late 1970s to the early 80s when there was the problem of Toxic Shock Syndrome? We have PFAS contaminants in our bloodstream from the plastics,and toxic substances in our cereals? What about the COVID vaccines?
@@kayjay3948 remember in middle/high school some of the girlies used to get “toxic syndrome” and pass out from tampons. That was my sign that I made a wise choice.
They also have PFAS - otherwise known as "forever chemicals". Much of this may be due to using biosolids - treated human waste - as fertilizer on the USA's farmlands. Human waste is full of nasty stuff like heavy metals.
Okay but right now at this exact moment it's a woman's issue specifically. These brands need severe consequences for fu**** with our health. Im disgusted.
I’m still going to use tampons because pads are uncomfortable. Plus why are they doing research now? There’s always going to be a risk when it comes to products or the food we eat. Everyone’s bodies react differently.
Why in the hell would that be in those tampons if they weren't trying to make people sick? Why have all the authorities quit following any of the rules and no one is being prosecuted on any of the crimes that are openly happening right now?
I thank God I dont need any of these things anymore 😢 its always been in the products they dont care if they are killing women its all about the money 💰 💯
Why are these still on the shelves? If it were found in food then it would be recalled but since it is something made to lay against a woman's uterus I guess it doesn't matter to them.
The question is, how much metal was found. The machines they are made with are metal and so too are the packaging machines. If were only talking about a few ppm of the metals that could just be coming from being in contact with metals and probably doesn't actually present any risk. I mean, the water most of us are drinking every day has these metals in it too, it's just that it's such a small amount it doesn't matter. But then again, we all know that the upper one percent want to cull us down to around five hundred million total on the planet, so it wouldn't surprise me if it were a method of slowing birth rates. If they are, it's working ! That along with whatever is causing the testosterone levels in young men to have fallen dramatically in the last couple of decades. Of course no one seems to want to talk about that much either !
Elements are everywhere. Your garden soil has about 2-3 ppm uranium. We have machines that can detect them at the sub ppb level and find anything anywhere . Are people freaking at the normal background levels found in everything?
@F1083 you must be a man, because any rational woman would be 100% concerned about putting something inside of them 7 or so days, multiple times a day every month containing any one of those chemicals, let alone multiple. I also guarantee the makers of these products have know for a long time!
Backpacking around the world , I made my own with medical cotton, medical gauze and white thread. They worked great for many years abroad. Easy to make a little box full and take with you.
Does the FDA get money from these companies? Let's make a rule that says if you work for the government, you cannot take a position in the private sector that you oversaw for 5 years. When they're paid not to understand, they have no incentive to understand.
What's crazy is your hypothetical is actually not. It's not hard to research/Google the FDA's negligence and unethical practices throughout It's time as an agency and that goes for most government agencies "regulating" and supposedly looking out for us Americans, it's a joke.

I think it's interesting this study comes out after this decision was handed down. That's my two cents, lol.
