subject: Why Fluoride-based Tootpastes Are Harmful [print this page] Lately, organic living and related issues is the in thing. The world over, families are increasingly finding the importance of low toxicity where cleaning material and other things like toothpaste is involved. People are opting for house groceries that have little or no harmless ingredients.
At face value, toothpaste may not occur to be a toxic substance. You are likely to have labels of the toothpaste written in small print. These if read carefully will let you know that if you swallow toothpaste you may have to contact the Poison control center for fluoride poisoning.
Fluoride is a well-known yet not popular poison. It is as toxic as arsenic and will definitely do more harm than lead. You will still find in most toothpaste that is selling at your local store.
You should not be too surprised to hear that fluoride will prevent cavities but it does so only according to a study done way back in the industrial revolution.
There is a lot of evidence that points towards fluoride based toothpastes not being able to deal with cavities the way the media hypes them to be able to do. Instead of getting some glittery white teeth, you can end up with permanently brown teeth.
Just by the fact that you do not drink fluoridated water should not dupe you to believe that you are safe. The walls of the mouth are well capable of absorbing fluoride into the body. Brushing your teeth thrice a day is equivalent to having the daily-recommended amount of water, all with fluoride
You should think about yourself and your family. Spare them the imminent drama and stick to an all-natural ingredient toothpaste. You should not take seriously any dentist that says that fluoride based pastes are better.
You should take extra precaution and buy a fluoride filter if the water service station in your locality uses fluoride to treat the water. The reverse osmosis mechanism will leave your water safer.
