    They're generalizing and sweeping again; perhaps they should reread the topic and actually say something about it.

    Health is the most precious thing a person can have.
    If they daydream and ignore reality and the laws of nature, they alone will bear the consequences of their actions or inaction.

    In short, most people are simply too stupid and ignorant, they eat whatever is put in front of them, and when they get sick, they expect society to foot the bill. It is precisely those who are arrogant who make it very easy for the ruling poisoners.

    Allegedly, lead is present in their headphones, and Beyerdynamic is required to list it on the packaging to sell them in California (USA). Whether California is right about this, no one here in Germany can confirm.

    Perhaps one should send their headphones to a lab to have them tested for harmful substances.

    In America, someone dried their poodle (dog) in the microwave and sued the company; since then, microwave ovens have a warning label not to dry animals in them.

    Come on, @Kate Middleton, you can do so much better than that. You're embarrassing the whole palace. I think you went to school and are proficient in both spoken and written language. Your main point is about as banal as it gets. A question for you: do you feel that the music industry equipment you use has a harmful effect on your health? Can you imagine that your monitors are emitting harmful chemicals?

    I don't want to go off-topic too much, but this is largely considered to be false. Here's a blog post from Michelle Wong, a science popularizer who's very famous in the cosmetics community for her reliable information, explaining the current evidence and consensus : https://labmuffin.com/should-you-avoid-aluminium-in-deodorants-the-science/

    It's VERY important to follow the scientific hierarchy of evidence, and to avoid the noise from Facebook groups and Tiktok fear mongerers, especially when it comes to medical topics.

    I've never used Facebook or TikTok, but rest assured, aluminum is dangerous when it enters the body. This is especially true for deodorants, where it's a well-established fact. Please don't believe industry-funded journalists or studies.

    Recommended Limit for Aluminum

    Even though the aluminum in antiperspirants is applied externally, a small amount can still be absorbed into the body. Aluminum can accumulate in the body and have negative effects on the kidneys, bones, and nerves. Therefore, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established a tolerable weekly intake of 1 milligram per kilogram of body weight. Other health effects have also been discussed, such as whether excessive aluminum intake could promote breast cancer or Alzheimer's disease. However, according to recent evaluations by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), there is no reliable data to support this.

    Consumers ingest aluminum through food and drinking water, as well as from other products such as food packaging, lipsticks, and aluminum-containing antiperspirants.

    Aluminum salts can be found on the ingredient list of antiperspirants, for example, under the term aluminum chlorohydrate.

    No Complete Abstention Necessary

    Do you have to completely avoid aluminum-containing deodorants? No. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) has determined: "The contribution of aluminum-containing antiperspirants to the total intake of aluminum is significantly lower than previously assumed. This has been shown in new studies. Therefore, adverse health effects from their regular use are unlikely," says Ariane Lenzner, a toxicologist at the BfR. Nevertheless, one should not ingest too much aluminum overall. "Anyone who already knows that they won't sweat much during the day could forgo an antiperspirant on that day," the expert suggests. A deodorant without aluminum salts might also suffice.

    Yes it's all a matter of doses. The amount in antiperspirant is controlled (around 10% according to European regulations), and is considered to be safe with regular use. Of course, if you EAT your entire antiperspirant bottle in one go, you might have a problem there.

    It's the same story with this study about headphones and bisphenols. The researchers themselves say that the doses were low, and only talked about a potential danger through a "cocktail effect" which they didn't study. So from my understanding, without having access to this study behind its paywall, is that it is inconclusive.

    not to mention @Kate Middleton kids they are put into that harmful enviroment, just because Kate wanted to save money on equipment. This thought robbs me my sleep.
    You know something is wrong with the global economy, when the Royality in England has to save a few bucks on such things.

    Instantly skeptical. A known boogeyman often employed by you-know-who.

    Would like to be clear about this, thats not my quote. That's directly from the Music radar article that I posted, for anyone that is either confused or didn't bother clicking the link to the article. I already stated how I felt about it in my reply to @1176f
