Quite often, we go to the supermarket and we buy a toothpaste at random, maybe sometimes we choose impulsively a nice package, an offer pack or a toothpaste that promises us whiter teeth and a more beautiful smile.
But what do commercial toothpastes of the trade hide? What negative effects on our health can have some of its ingredients?
- Sodium lauryl sulphonate or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS): one of the most important substances responsible for oral ulcers. It is used to create the thick texture and foam of the toothpaste.
- Peroxides: is the teeth bleaching agent. However, their toxic action causes damage to the surface cells of the gums.
- Fluoride: has been implicated as a neurotoxin. Neurotoxins are thought to be able to cause autism, difficulty concentrating, and learning difficulties. Since during brushing part of the toothpaste penetrates into our gastrointestinal system, this component can cause undesirable and dangerous side effects.
