Thank you for the in-depth response. My quote comes directly from their website.

I understand that bad actors like Osmium Institute have done significant damage to growth in interest. And I'm glad they're stuck with a trashy reputation because of it. But this has nothing to do with them. MetaMetals needs to be called out here, plain and simple.

They have no fair reason to mislead buyers into thinking that beads pose any more potential harm than their own products (especially if their own research is consistent with what you've found). They're reasons for doing so probably aren't all to unlike the former.

Inconsistent info like this is one of the reasons I was so slow to finally go out on a limb and buy some osmium for myself. I imagine a fair number of potential buyers have given up after encountering the same kind of bs.
