The article says organic tampons had more lead than arsenic and non-organic had more arsenic than lead; but the Newsweek article they reference says the opposite. Reading the actual study, the Newsweek article is correct. I get that more studies need to be done to reconfirm the results, but I wish they just shared the product names they tested already.
