“Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age.\u00a0 If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a poison control center right away.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Want to guess what item in your house has the above warning label adhered to it in plain sight?<\/p>\n

According to the new book The Healthy Home<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz, that hit the bookshelves just yesterday, \u201cIt is the required warning that appears on every tube of fluoridated toothpaste manufactured in the United States.\u00a0 The FDA began requiring this warning in the late \u201890s when it became clear that small children could be seriously injured \u2013 or even killed \u2013 by fluoride poisoning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingesting fluoride toothpaste can be fatal, and yet many local governments have passed legislation requiring fluoridation of water supplies.\u00a0 In addition, it can also cause damage to your teeth\u2019s enamel.<\/p>\n

Huh? What?\u00a0 True enough!<\/p>\n

According to the authors, it is the physical activity of brushing your teeth that actually cleans them.\u00a0 So next time you go shopping for toothpaste, you might want to buy the non-fluoride brand.<\/p>\n

For cleanest teeth \u2013 brush twice daily, floss and scrape your tongue!<\/p>\n
