A NEW STUDY FINDS ARSENIC, LEAD AND OTHER TOXIC METALS DETECTED IN TAMPONS; Tampon brands include Procter & Gamble's Tampax, Kimberly-Clark's Kotex and Playtex from Edgewell Personal Care; Arsenic, Barium, Calcium, Cadmium, Cobalt, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Mercury, Nickel, Lead, Selenium, Strontium, Vanadium and Zinc
ALL 16 METALS WERE DETECTED IN ONE PRODUCT; The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates tampons in the U.S. says it is reviewing the findings.
"While the chemical method used indicates these metals are present in the tampons tested in the laboratory, the study does not assess whether any metals are released from tampons when used in the body. It also does not address whether any metal, if released, can be absorbed into the va**nal lining or, subsequently into the bloodstream," a spokesperson for the agency stated. "We plan to evaluate the study closely and take any action warranted to safeguard the health of consumers who use these products."; ISN'T THE FDA SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US
