No one would have been allowed to sell it for decades if it was that dangerous and there's a ground swell of people who believe the non cadmium solders don't flow as well. Easiflo No 2 has been the preferred default solder for years. It's very good. Bruce Engineering stock it but there are many others. Just do a Google. You need the flux that goes with it. My personal preference is for a separate flux rather than the fluxed rod. I'd highly recommende the Tubal Cain book on Soldering and Brazing in the Workshop Practice Series.
