Hi list Boron is a micro mineral needed by the body in very small amounts (micro grams a day) we get a bit from the diet. Eating borax will bring four atoms of boron per molecule of tetra borate or borax. Additionally borax is an industrial chemical which carries a lot of impurities.

    Does anyone know of any negatives regarding the use of borax as a
    dietary source of boron??? Have read that just one joint of the index
    finger coated with borax and popped into the mouth will give enough
    boron to suffice for daily needs. Need confirmation as to this
    information. tia pj
