A Personal Message from Tamara Rubin:

This particular product has shown no detectable levels of Lead during testing; however, it did reveal a concerning presence of Cadmium, which is classified as a known carcinogen. While the lab report below provides detailed data, it’s important to understand that Cadmium’s presence raises significant health concerns, especially for vulnerable populations.

If you’re seeking safer alternatives, please refer to this link for vetted options. Remember to scroll down to access the full original laboratory report for this specific product.

The detected levels of toxic substances in this product are within legal limits.
Legal does not equate to safe or healthy—particularly for children and pregnant women.
Regulatory standards are often designed more to shield corporations from liability rather than to ensure consumer safety, as discussed in our documentary linked here.
Our family chooses to avoid products with Cadmium levels at or above 5 parts per billion (ppb), given our history of cancer, recognizing the carcinogenic risk involved.

If you’re interested in detoxing or supporting your family’s health after learning about these toxicant levels, please read this article first—linked here. Be cautious, as many detox products and protocols are ineffective or potentially dangerous, and some may even increase Lead exposure.

The complete lab report for this product is located at the bottom of this article.

For healthier options regarding foods, supplements, and cosmetics—including toothpaste—we maintain several lists on our dedicated testing landing page, accessible here. We also have a specific list focusing on safer snack choices, which you can view here. Our latest updated list of 50 lab-tested safer foods, cosmetics, and supplements is available here.
