How often do you brush your teeth? Most likely once or twice a day. How often have you thought about what substances are in the toothpaste that you use day after day, month after month?
Almost all modern large manufacturers of toothpastes, with the support of "scientists", claim that the content of hazardous components there is "within the normal range." Every day, "throwing in" 2-4 mg of toothpaste, we get a wide range of harmful substances that the body does not have time to remove. Because of this, all substances, whether we like it or not, accumulate in our body.
Toothpaste is bad, let's see why:
What do toothpastes contain?
The vast majority of toothpastes contain fluoride!
Fluorine is a neurotoxin. It accumulates in tissues and bones for years. Causes neuro-disorders similar to Alzheimer's syndrome, damages the digestive system and joints, weakens the immune system (especially in young people).
The symptoms of fluoride intoxication are similar to those of colds - chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, inability to regain strength after rest.
Promotional video:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) -free shampoo is now widely advertised. But in toothpaste, this substance is used in large quantities to improve foaming!
This substance is unusually active, quickly penetrates the skin and mucous membrane and accumulates in the internal organs: liver, kidneys, heart, brain! Sodium lauryl sulfate dries out the mucous membrane of the oral mucosa, increases the sensitivity of the gums to food acids, is the strongest abrasive - this leads to thinning of the enamel!
Recent studies have shown that sodium lauryl sulfate has a negative effect on fertility in men.
By the way, in industry, sodium lauryl sulfate is used for cleaning floors in garages, as a means for washing cars, etc.
Foamer SLS changes the protein composition of children's eyes (the most delicate and mobile protein). Delays the normal development of these children, over time, can provoke cataracts. SLS reacts with many ingredients in cosmetics to form nitrosamines (nitrates).
Many firms often disguise their SLS products as natural, stating "sourced from coconuts."
Louret sodium sulfate (Sodium Laureth Sulfate - SLES). Similar ingredient to SLS (ester chain added). SLES reacts with other ingredients and forms dioxins in addition to nitrates.
Triclosan (Triclosan) - an antibiotic, can lead to a violation of blood flow in the body of a pregnant woman, which will reduce the supply of oxygen to the fetus, reduces the concentration of the female hormone estrogen in the body.
Metronidazole and Chlorhexine are antibiotics, there is no need to explain the harm - it is impossible to underestimate the risk and use such pastes without good reason.
Triclogard is an antibiotic that kills microflora.
Aluminum compounds - the harm of aluminum does not need to be explained.
Calcium carbonate is regular chalk. But, if the composition of the paste does not include calcium glycerophosphate, but there is still the same calcium carbonate, then you are blatantly lying. Because calcium carbonate is insoluble, which means that it cannot promote tooth mineralization. 90% of all pastes on earth contain fluoride. And it is incompatible with cheap abrasives such as chalk. Together with him, he stupidly precipitates, and all his possible benefits are instantly reduced to zero.
Antibacterial pastes contain antibiotics, whitening pastes contain components that destroy enamel and health, pastes for sensitive teeth contain radioactive materials in an acceptable dose, and the advertised fluoride is not at all useful and even harmful! Pastes are often counterfeit, for example, antifreeze (ethylene glycol) not declared on the package was found in fake Colgate paste made in China. The composition of many pastes is not written on a tube, but is written on the packaging (which we immediately throw away) - this is the same evidence that manufacturers have something to hide.
Another advertising bait is Antibacterial Supplements. Most often, triclosan is used as such an additive (it was written about it above), which kills microorganisms in the oral cavity. Naturally, both harmful bacteria and quite peaceful and useful microflora fall under the hot hand.
Make "Toothpaste" yourself from natural ingredients
You can use powdered blue or white clay to clean your teeth. It is completely natural, does not contain harmful substances, qualitatively cleans teeth from plaque and prevents the appearance of tartar. Apply a small amount of clay to a damp brush and brush as usual.
An herbal powder can be prepared. Take in equal proportions: thyme, chamomile, laurel, cloves, black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric and thoroughly and very finely grind all the ingredients. To brush your teeth, apply a small amount of powder to a damp toothbrush.
In case of gum disease, you can brush your teeth with a powder made from sage leaves, it has a strong antimicrobial effect and a very pleasant taste. Sage powder is also applied to a damp brush.
