Fluoride and Other Hidden Toxins in Your Toothpaste

Have you ever considered what's in that innocent blob that you squeeze onto your toothbrush everyday?

We are all so much more health conscious today. It is not an uncommon sight to walk down the aisle of any grocery store and find people checking the labels on food products to make sure they don't contain trans fats, too many carbs, added sugar, or a high number of calories. But how often do you see people checking out the label on toothpaste? We remain blissfully unaware of the potential danger to our health that lies in that blob on our toothbrush. Consumers assume that over-the-counter personal care products we use daily, such as toothpaste, must surely be safe. But are they?

Most toothpastes contain a number of slow moving poisons that accumulate in your body and lead to toxic overload. The thin mucous membranes in your mouth are highly sensitive and very permeable, allowing many of these toxins to be easily absorbed into the body, resulting in potentially grave health risks over time. I recently read the label on the back of my toothpaste box for the first time and was shocked to notice right off the bat the words "Drug Facts". Who put drugs in my toothpaste? What the heck was in this innocent tube I used so diligently everyday?
