>We couldn't really know but assuming he was a huWhite man posting here he would have enuff IQ points to watch his dosageHere's the problem with that argument: let's say he took "only" one teaspoon of borax everyday.
If you look above, it says 0.5g of daily boric acid (H₃BO₃) was enough to cause anemia. Excess boron damages your red blood cells, faster than your body can replace them, causing anemia. 0.5g of boric acid contains
87mg of boron.
If he took "only" a teaspoon of borax (Na₂H₂₀B₄O₁₇) daily, one teaspoon of borax (5mL) contains
1000mg of boron.
Hell, let's say he was "super cautious" and "only" took one-quarter of a teaspoon of borax daily. That's still
250mg of boron, almost 3 times more than the boric acid example.
You know what they recommend to people who are worried they think they may be low on boron? One cup of almonds, raisins, dried prunes or an avocado. You know how much boron is in a cup of almonds or an avocado? Approximately
3mg of boron.
