TEN DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS OF TOOTHPASTE

Toothpaste is item that everyone makes use of today, but what makes this concoction so special? Whether you brush your teeth one time per day or times per day, chances are that you have never taken the time to read that ingredient list. Some think that the ingredients contained in a standard package of toothpaste are essential - others think that water may be as effective. In the finish, there is a nice reason why most toothpaste packages warn: "Do Not Ingest!" Toothpaste although (in some form or another) has been around as long as the Ancient Greeks have, the formula (as they know it) did not become popular until World War I. As soon as companies began manufacturing toothpaste, people began to buy the magical concoction - guaranteed to produce glistening teeth! White teeth were all the anger after World War I had ended, & toothpaste quickly became a product that most people basically could not live without. ten. Formaldehyde

That same ingredient that coroners cannot live without can be found inside of your toothpaste tube. Formaldehyde kills all of those little bacteria that climb onto your teeth after eating or sleeping. If a large amount of formaldehyde is accidentally ingested, the result could be deadly. Extreme formaldehyde ingestion leads to jaundice, kidney destroy, liver destroy, & death. 9. Detergent

Foam, suds, activation! What would toothpaste be without that satisfying soapy feeling? Manufacturers use regular detergent in order to appease the masses that prefer bubbly toothpaste. While bubbles may be fun, be cautious in the event you accidentally ingest a huge amount of this stuff - swallowing detergent may cause digestive tract burning. 8. Seaweed

Stretchy & slimy, seaweed holds that paste together. Without this green stuff, toothpaste would basically collapse! The nice news is that seaweed is not poisonous. Infact, seaweed has various nutritional benefits, though hitting the sushi bar is a better way of gaining those benefits. 7. Peppermint Oil

Minty, minty, minty! Fresh breath can only be kept fresh with the help of peppermint oil! While refreshing when brushing your teeth using toothpaste, peppermint oil may cause a slow pulse, heartburn, and muscle tremors if it is consumed. 6. Paraffin

As slick as the petroleum that it is derived from, paraffin creates a smooth paste that oozes onto your toothbrush using toothpaste. As you might imagine, paraffin wasn't meant to be eaten. If you happen to swallow this ingredient, you may end up with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and severe constipation. 5. Glycerin Glycol  Never heard of this ingredient before? Positive about that? Glycerin glycol is added to toothpaste in order to prevent the paste from becoming dry â�� it is also present in antifreeze. Although glycerin is not poisonous, this additive may cause nausea if swallowed four. Chalk

That's right - chalk. Thanks to the fact that chalk is made from exoskeletons, it is hard to remove all of that caked on gunk from your pearly whites. Chalk dust may cause lung issues if inhaled by toothpaste, & swallowing a small bit of chalk could cause bleeding. three. Titanium Dioxide

This is another common toothpaste ingredient, though it is usually present in white paint. When added to toothpaste, titanium dioxide has the safe effect on your teeth as it does on walls - it keeps them lovely & white (for a few hours, at least!). Ingesting titanium dioxide won't hurt you, but it is not recommended two. Saccharin

Something has to combat that terrible detergent taste! Saccharin is sweet, but not sweet - the way that most people like their toothpaste! Saccharin has been a hot topic of debate every since Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House. The USDA tried to ban the substance in 1972, though it is thought about "safe" to ingest today. one. Menthol

One last ingredient to add a minty note to your breath. Without menthol, toothpaste might taste like, well, chalk, glycerin, paraffin, detergent, titanium dioxide, and seaweed! Go ahead and ingest menthol in case you like, but sipping some tea containing menthol is a much better idea than chewing on your tube of toothpaste.
