Pick up your toothpaste tube right now. I'm going to share with you how TOXIC it is and what you can switch to.
Many toothpastes have these TOXIC ingredients that are not helping your teeth AND actually damaging your over all health.
1. Sodium Fluoride - proven to be highly toxic and directly linked to cancer!
2. Glycerin - show me how this helps your teeth? Well you can't find the proof because there is none. But you can find info stating that it depletes your teeth of minerals. No thanks!
3. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - a chemical linked to everything from skin and eye irritation to organ toxicity and yes cancer - once again!
I always like knowing the good, better and best options
GOOD: Find a truly organic and all natural toothpaste with NO toxic ingredients.
Burt's Bees and Tom’s are my favorites.
BETTER: Make your own toothpaste and store it in a mini mason jar in your medicine cabinet.
Here are a few ingredients that I like to use. Coconut oil, alternating between activate food grade charcoal and Bob's Red Mill baking soda, a squirt of hydrogen peroxide and occasionally I will also add a drop of peppermint oil.
BEST : This is what I personally do. Oil pull with Coconut oil, brush teeth with home made mason jar toothpaste and follow up with a water pik.
