The Medical Industry's Dirty Secret: Toxic Tampons and Women's Health #toxic #tampon #womenhealth

Why Did It Take So Long to Study Women?!
Toxic Tampons: Uncovering the Medical Industry's Neglect
Ever wondered why we’re just now learning about the toxins in tampons? As women, we've been second-class citizens in the medical industry for way too long. From toxic tampons to the lack of medical research on women’s bodies, it's time we talk about the gender bias in healthcare and why it's still affecting us today.

In this video, I dive into the shocking findings from a recent study by UC Berkeley, which revealed that tampons contain harmful metals like arsenic and lead. We’ll also explore the historical timeline of gender bias in medical research, and why it took so long to include women in clinical trials. Plus, I'll share my personal journey with late autism diagnosis and how gender bias affects even that.

Join me, Hazel the Heretic, as we unpack this toxic industry and fight for better health care for women. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you’re ready to tackle these issues head-on and laugh through the apocalypse with me!
