@arstechnica boron, the element in borax, is essential for humans, however the idiots that are dying from it have no idea how little boron they actually need. It's embarrassing for humankind.
@arstechnica "This cleaning product contains an element that some foods contain traces of, therefore it is safe to eat", while also "This food contains an element that is used in cleaning products, therefore evil company is causing cancer!"
@arstechnica i mean, it's less toxic than table salt per gram, but you wouldn't drink that either in any significant amount. It can help with fungal issues when added to a foot bath, but you would not need to add much, and I wouldn't recommend soaking your entire body in it.
But otherwise, borax is a wonderful and safe mineral salt that can be used for a lot of things.
@arstechnica natural selection is good. It isn’t in our best interest to get in its way. What do these fads have in common? A fan base which is either too impulsive or too stupid to live.
