We are all brushing our theeth when we wake up in the morning, but maybe we are not aware of the fact that we leave another deposit of potentially dangerous compounds and plastics in our mouth.
It’s not like we wake up in the morning and decide to increase our daily intake of toxic materials. We might already have enough, depending on how much is our city polluted. We simply do the basic thing which is brushing our theeth.
Tha scary fact is that nowadays, more brand tooth pastes contain a myriad of chemicals which are potentially dangerous to our long-term overall and wellbeing.
Among all them, the chief offender is Crest Toothpaste, due to the its content. It is loaded with plastic that has no hygienic purpose whatsoever.
Polyethylene is the compound from which plastic garbage cans are made off. This same compound is used to make those Crest’s distinctive blue flakes. Polyethylene does not do anything besides giving the toothpaste shiny blue sprinkles.
When dipped in rubbing alcohol and acetone, they are not even dissolved, instead, they just sit in your gums and mouth, which means they are harmful.
However, studies have not yet found any direct illnesses caused by this plastic. Nevertheless, try to avoid this toothpaste since no good can come of this.
The fact is that most of the brand toothpastes are not beneficial for our health, eventhough they do not contain polyethylene.
Unfortunately, 95% percent of common toothpaste brands are loaded with fluoride.
Eventhough they are considered as beneficial for your dental hygiene, they are also really toxic.
That is why there is a warning label on the tube of Colgate toothpaste. Fluoride can cause several health risks including perioral dermatitis, dental fluorisis (teeth discoloration) and impairment in your glucose metabolism.
Consult your health physician as soon as you can, if you ingest more than the recommended dose by accident.
Ask yourself, why are you still using products that contain such a dangerous ingredients, and more importantly, how can you find a natural alternative to keep theeth healthy?
Fortunately, there is the perfect natural homemade toothpaste recipe. More importantly, it is absolutely vegan.
