Toxins in Toothpaste

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)- (in many personal care products and many shampoos) Both SLS and SLES are potential carcinogens and may form dioxane when interacting with other chemicals. Clinical studies show both of these chemicals causing hair loss. Fluoride : One of the most common ways fluoride is made is by filtering airborne industrial waste given off by fertilizer producers. Saccharin : An artificial sweetener used in toothpaste, mouthwash and lipstick. Lab rats developed bladder cancer after being given this substance in high doses. The FDA still lists it as a possible carcinogen. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) : SLS is used as a detergent and helps make the toothpaste foam. It is a known skin irritant and some people are very allergic to this chemical. SLS is believed to cause or aggravate canker sores in those prone to such irritations. Well-known as a skin and scalp irritant, easily absorbed in eyes, brain, and liver … may have harmful long term effects, possible carcinogen, could retard healing … causes cataracts in adults and keeps children's eyes from developing properly.

Fluoride is I believe a very tiny molecule that can fill in tiny gaps in your teeth so that bacteria can't lodge there....I think at least?!

It's made of pig fat. They also put flouride in it . Flouride makes teeth stronger The pg fat may refer to Gelatin, andmany toothpastes use vegetarian gelatin, agar or other substances with the same chemical consitency.

It has no single chemical name as it is a mixture of many chemical ingredients.

Also the exact formula of that mixture varies from brand to brand, type within a brand, as well as over time as the manufacturer chooses to make changes.

Read the label to find what is in yours.
