A Must Read if You Have Children
Would you allow your family to brush their teeth with engine degreaser or rat poison? The fact is, they probably are and you don’t even know it.
Dental hygiene products that you and your loved ones use every day may contain toxins that have been linked to cancer, blindness, and even death. Have you checked out the ingredients in your toothpaste or mouthwash Lately?
You will be shocked at what you find.
Many name-brand toothpastes and mouthwashes contain potentially harmful ingredients, which are made up of very small molecules that may penetrate through the tissue of your mouth and enter the blood stream, building up in the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and tissues.
Did you ever wonder why manufacturers are required to put a warning label on toothpastes?
Just read the label on any major brand toothpaste or mouthwash. You'll see they are loaded with dangerous toxins and chemicals such as sodium fluoride, triclosan, red and blue dyes, sodium lauryl sulphate, and hydrated silica. All of these common ingredients have been found to be harmful to humans. (From the Safe Shoppers Bible)
1. Sodium Fluoride: Rat poison, in a tube.
Sodium fluoride, one of the main ingredients in rat poison, can also be found in toothpaste.
You are probably aware that most toothpaste and a large number of mouth rinses contain fluoride because that's what dentists have recommended for years to prevent cavities.
What you probably aren’t aware of is four ounces of many popular toothpastes contain enough fluoride to kill a small child within two to four hours (From "Fluoride Retained From Mouth Rinses and Dentifrices in Preschool Children.")
In children, minimal ingestion of sodium fluoride causes salivation, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and diarrhoea. Larger doses of the carcinogen may cause paralysis, muscular weakness and colonic convulsions, followed by respiratory and cardiac failure. (From “Commercial Toothpaste - Natural or Poison?”)
If the fact that sodium fluoride is found in rat poison isn’t enough to make you think twice, consider this. Sodium fluoride is a key component of anaesthetic, hypnotic drugs, psychiatric drugs and even sarin nerve gas. (From "Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride in Rats.)
Want some more fun facts about fluoride? Fluoride compounds were added to the drinking water of prisoners to keep them quiet and to hamper noncompliance with authority, both in Nazi prison camps during World War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia. (From The Cold War and the University)
Surprisingly, fluoride has NEVER been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additionally, a 1990 study stated that fluoride has been shown to NOT reduce cavities. In fact, scientists are now linking fluoride to dental deformity, arthritis and allergic reactions.
Additionally, scientists are claiming that the use of sodium fluoride could be linked to approximately 10,000 unnecessary deaths each year from cancer. (From “Fluoride an equivocal carcinogen. National Cancer Institute)
