Why You Should Consider Switching Your Toothpaste
2

• Toothpaste is a product that people dont
  realize is harmful and rarely think about
  replacing. In fact, many people have no idea how
  harmful it is or why they should replace it.
  However, the simple fact is that toothpaste can
  be harmful and should be replaced with a natural
  solution.

• The obvious natural solution is natural
  toothpaste. It's becoming more and more popular,
  as its benefits are being explored. Below are
  three of those benefits and why you should
  consider switching immediately.

4
It Doesnt Contain Fluoride

• It was once believed that fluoride was
  essential for dental health, but that has been
  disproven. Fluoride is not beneficial or
  necessary for dental health, its toxic in high
  doses and if you believe it helps your teeth, you
  dont have to get your fluoride from toothpaste.
  Most people actually get enough fluoride from
  drinking tap water.

5

• However, the chemical accumulates in your
  tissues over time, and causes adverse health
  effects, such as endocrine and neurological
  dysfunction. Many toothpaste products of the
  natural variety are fluoride-free, because
  fluoride is an unnecessary ingredient in
  toothpaste.

It Doesnt Contain Harmful Chemicals

• Conventional toothpaste is notorious for
  containing harmful chemical ingredients. One of
  the most harmful ingredients is the chemical
  sodium lauryl sulfate. This chemical is used to
  thicken the toothpaste, which is what creates the
  foaming action in your mouth. It feels nice, but
  that lather caused by sodium lauryl sulfate can
  be dangerous.

7

• It can cause more toxins to be absorbed into
  your body, cause eye and skin irritation and
  alter the structure of your skin.
• The mouth is highly absorbent, so chemicals from
  toothpaste are easily absorbed into the
  bloodstream. Some of the most harmful chemicals
  in toothpaste include

8

• Triclosan An antibacterial chemical that can
  disrupt the endocrine system and lead to certain
  types of cancers
• Propylene Glycol This chemical is also found in
  industrial grade, paint, de-icer, antifreeze and
  enamel. However, its harmful in all forms. The
  pharmaceutical-grade chemical can be toxic to
  your organs, and irritate your eyes, skin and
  lungs.

9

• Artificial Sweeteners Sweeteners like
  Aspartame contain harmful chemicals that cant be
  eliminated from the body because the sweetener
  isnt bonded to anything, such as pectin in
  fruits. This means these chemicals remain in your
  body, traveling to your brain and other areas,
  which could lead to methanol poisoning in very
  rare cases, but mostly they lead to some form of
  illness.

10

• Diethanolamine (DEA) DEA is known for hormone
  disruption and a chemical reaction that may lead
  to cancer in the esophagus, stomach, bladder and
  liver.

11
Decreases Mouth Sensitivity

• Most toothpaste products contain ingredients
  that boost mouth sensitivity, and burn and
  irritate the mouth. However, natural products
  dont contain these ingredients. In fact, most of
  them contain mild ingredients that decrease
  sensitivity and painful irritation.

12

• This means no more pain or irritation while
  brushing.
• If you're looking for a natural product for
  your teeth or are interested in organic food,
  there are many sources of information online.
