Toxic Toothpaste

The Cornucopia Institute recently released a report about all the toxins and carcinogens found in toothpaste.

The FDA has no power to review products before they go on the market. Companies do not have to list all of the ingredients in their products, nor are they required to register their manufacturing facilities with the government or report “adverse events,” making it difficult for regulators to spot potential problems. Essentially, the cosmetics industry regulates itself.

And it’s not just the mainstream pastes you have to watch out for! Many brands that label themselves “natural” actually are not. Your mouth is one of the most absorbent parts of your body, so using any harmful chemicals is incredibly dangerous.
