Re: how dangerous is toothpaste?
If that is aimed at children (a childs toothpaste), that is disgraceful, I bet the shop don't even know it says that, this is when I agree with grocery labelling, I would be kicking off with whoever sold me that if it is a kiddies product.

I think you will find that most toothpastes will be the same.
Come to think of it would you want a 2 year old eating a tub of Drapolene? It all comes down to knowing what your kids are eating. |
Re: how dangerous is toothpaste?
The problem with most toothpaste is that it contains something called sodium lauryl sulphate, which is also used in shampoo, shower gel, bubble bath, washing powder etc. If you google it - you'll find a lot of research on the side effects and irritant factors

In the days of the good old coal fire, you could rub your tooth brush in the soot on the chimney back and clean your teeth, didn't taste nice, but boy did get your teeth clean :D

Don't think that just because it is organically grown it is not harmfull. Read this Here is an abstract from it Quote:
If you search for perillyl-alcohol it is actually has anti cancer properties so that sounds good, I think. I wonder what all those others do to you. I found a link to a pdf where a girl died after injecting 5ml of peppermint oil. I only read part of it here Quote:

Re: how dangerous is toothpaste?
I know that everything is composed of chemicals, and some people react to some natural products. If mint does cause a reaction with you, there are several other toothpaste varieties to try
