...."Is borax the same as boron?
No, borax is not the same as born. While both borax and boron are naturally occurring, borax isn't a food-grade substance. Rather, we use it for cleaning and other purposes.
Boron is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth's crust that’s essential for plant growth. We find it in varying concentrations in different foods. While not classified as a traditional essential nutrient, some research suggests that boron could have several health benefits when consumed in appropriate amounts (1).
Should I drink borax?
No, you should not drink borax. Drinking borax will not improve your health. In fact, it may cause adverse health events.
Will drinking or consuming borax cause harm?
Drinking and consuming borax cause harm, including headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, red eyes, and more severe adverse health impacts at high levels.
If you're based in the United States, and you or someone you know has consumed borax, contact the poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222. It's available 24/7 and connects you to a local poison control center.
Otherwise, contact your local healthcare professional for medical assistance."
