Considering the hundreds of years of safe use, why are borates categorized as a reproductive toxin by the European Union. Is there new information?
No. In fact, the newest information coming from a test in China supports an earlier test performed in India that showed high levels of boron in drinking water did not cause reproductive or developmental problems. While these effects have been known to exist based on laboratory studies where animals are force-fed high levels of boron, those levels are unattainable during normal use or even misuse.
