Ditch Your Toxic Toothpaste! 10 DIY Toothpaste Recipes

February 7, 2014 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Ditch Your Toxic Toothpaste! 10 DIY Toothpaste Recipes | healthylivinghowto.com

The message to brush, floss and gargle is hammered into us at a young age. For many the dental routine is performed religiously, often several times a day without thought for the safety of the products we are using. What many don't know is in our attempts to fight off tooth decay and bad breath we may actually be using dental products that not only don't live up to their promises for healthier teeth, but that may also be hazardous to our health.

The common, questionable synthetic ingredients found in many toothpastes include [Source]:

  • Sodium Lauryl Sulphate a foaming agent known to irritate tissues. SLS increases skin permeability allowing other chemicals to be absorbed more readily into the body.
  • Sodium Laureth Sulphate commonly contaminated with dioxin and reacts with other ingredients to form nitrosamines.
  • Triclosan originally registered as a pesticide and is linked to cancer, disrupts thyroid hormones and affects heart function.
  • Fluoride is linked to cancer, it is a systemic poison and damages the thyroid.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
