Is poison in your toothpaste?

Warning Labels... On Toothpaste! WHY?
There must be reasons... and this could be one!! Let’s get right to it- OK? By now, you realize little is sacred anymore!

Right here before your very own eyes is a typical toothpaste label. We went to the grocery store and checked them for ourselves, about 20 popular brands.

ALL of them contained Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and some even contained Propylene Glycol as well. (What the heck...Why not?) They also cautioned or warned about children under 6... for good reason.

So go on, run to your bathroom and check your toothpaste for a warning label. If you can’t find one, it was probably on the box it came in. Let’s take a look....SLS of course, but what really raised our eyebrows are the DIRECTIONS. See how much detail there is instructing you how to supervise children under the age of 6. Is "supervise" a bit much?

C’mon, this is toothpaste, not rat poison! The directions are printed for a reason. This label not only specifies children 2 to 6 years of age and those under 2. If you read between the lines... it implies that children under 2 should NOT use this toothpaste.

All warning labels were very similar. Then it WARNS you to “KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.” Hmm... didn’t know that. Well, get a load of what’s next...IF SWALLOWED...contact a Poison Control Center immediately! Poison, they said it!

The Warnings and cautions are printed for a reason. Kids are NOT going to read them, so it’s your responsibility to “supervise” your child’s use of toothpaste and other products. Producers can put in “safe” amounts of “poison”; but if diseases or abnormalities arise in your child down the road, don’t blame (sue) the big corporations- they’ve warned you!

So when the Chemical Scandal Surfaces...
... Probably within our lifetime- the Big Boys will have their profits and their butts covered. How many of the 125 suspect ingredients need to be tested before something changes? For many one guilty ingredient is enough!

Now that you know... What are you going to do?
A LAB STUDY That HITS HOME
“Detergent Penetration into Young and Adult Eyes, Research to Prevent Blindness” - K. Green, Ph. D., D. SC.
This Study reveals some of the most compelling and alarming evidence indicating that SLS should be avoided. (This could also be why you’ll find WARNINGS on products containing SLS).

SLS is rapidly taken up and accumulated by eye tissues, and retained for up to 5 days.
SLS uptake is greater in younger mammals.
SLS denatures proteins of eye tissues- impairing development- permately.
SLS extends the healing time of the cornea surface to 10 days... far beyond the norm of 2 days.
Tissue of young eyes may be more susceptible to alteration be SLS.

SLS (found in nearly ALL toothpastes, shampoos and bubble baths) is absorbed through skin contact and is retained for up to 5 days. Our eyes develop most during our first few years. We douse ourselves with SLS and we have more and more people wearing contact and glasses! Now we know why!

And it’s clear by all those warnings and cautions that “they know something,” but what! Again, how long will it be until anyone tests the long term consequences of SLS exposure from the use of these common products. What’s the likelihood of finding any volunteers for a study that could result in retarded eye development or blindness?

Just look around...while you still can!
And There’s A Lot More to Worry About...The list of potentially Harmful Ingredients found in our everyday products doesn’t end with DEA, Propylene Glycol or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Here’s some more ingredients we sprinkle all over our bodies, smear under our arms and gargle with... and we do it for a encourage our kids to do the same... every day of every week, month after month, year after year!
