Ever since, the paste was replaced by tooth paste made of harmful chemicals, I had to face dental problem after problem. Almost all tooth pastes carry Sodium Fluoride, Triclosan, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol and DEA. Dentists trumpet Fluoride builds strong, healthy teeth. However, in reality sodium fluoride is also found in rat poisons and industrial pesticides. According to the Akron Regional Poison Center, ingesting 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride can kill adult. Ingesting even a small amount of sodium fluoride may cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Yet despite its dangers, sodium fluoride continues to be a staple in all leading brand of toothpaste. Again, the Triclosan supplements many toothpaste brands. Unfortunately, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies triclosan as a pesticide, stating it poses a risk to both human health and the environment. Added as a detergent and cleansing agent, sodium laurel sulfate and its cousin sodium laureth sulfate pose a wide range of potential health risks. And similarly, Propylene Glycol an active component in antifreeze acts as a wetting agent and surfactant in toothpaste. Consumers find diethanolamine, or DEA, in products that foam toothpaste disrupts hormones and forms cancer-causing nitrates., repeated skin exposure to DEA can lead to increased risk of liver and kidney cancers. All theses hazardous effects of tooth paste have been pointed out and listed in all health guides. Why not to warn users of harmful effects of chemicals used in tooth paste the way they are being statutory mandated in case of tobacco products? In India we not very health conscious and leave day-to-day serious problems to super power or kismat-fate. The super qualities of turmeric have been recognized World wide.
