Lead Safe Mama (LSM), an organization dedicated to preventing childhood lead poisoning through independent testing of consumer goods, has revealed that popular toothpaste and tooth powder products contain levels of lead, mercury, arsenic, and/or cadmium—all of which are to

Toothpaste can be widely contaminated with lead and other dangerous heavy metals, new research shows. Most of 51 brands of toothpaste tested for lead contained the dangerous heavy metal, including those for children, or marketed as green. The testing, conducted by Lead Safe Mama, also found concerning levels of highly toxic arsenic, mercury and cadmium in many brands. About 90% of toothpastes contained lead, 65% contained arsenic, just under half contained mercury, and one-third had cadmium. M

There are some awful women on The Handmaid’s Tale, but men make up the bulk of its villainous characters. That goes for individual men like the thankfully departed Commander Fred Waterford, but also “men of Gilead” as a collective, oppressive, violent, misogynistic whole. The show tends to deal in heavy-handed themes, but it’s also invested in creating complex characters. The most fascinating examples are Gilead insiders who realize too late they’re trapped in prisons of their own making. We’ve

Watching The Handmaid’s Tale for the first time, the inevitable question soon rises: how did a place as oppressive and cruel as Gilead come to be? Over six seasons, we’ve learned the Gilead origin story through flashbacks sprinkled into the main narrative—something that feels increasingly like a cautionary tale for American viewers in 2025—and the Hulu show has also filled in blanks for its main players. But in a recent episode, it gave us another fresh glance into one character’s life “before.”

The Trump administration’s cuts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, led by Robert F.

And the public is slowly learning about the ramifications of these moves that will make Americans sicker and less able to respond to threats to public health. One of the latest casualties has been the CDC’s lead poisoning response team at the National Center for Environmental

The last time we visited Gilead was way back in November 2022. It’s been a long gap, enough that casual viewers and even fans have allowed The Handmaid’s Tale, once an Emmy-dominating must-watch, slide off the radar. But The Handmaid’s Tale is back for one final season, and the timing is eerily perfect. Its themes feel unnervingly relevant again in our current political climate—and it channels plenty of energy and rage into its fierce final installment. (io9 watched the first eight episodes fr
