Deadly Toothpaste
We’ve all been led to believe fluoride is good for maintaining healthy teeth, but this just isn’t the truth at all. Data compiled by the World Health Organisation shows absolutely no difference in tooth decay in countries that use fluoridated water compared with countries that don’t. In mid 2007 even the American Dental Association (a long-time proponents of fluoride) reversed its position. It now advises dentists against giving babies fluoride because of its adverse effect on bone growth.
Toothpaste is used daily and in sometimes generous amounts. While flouridated toothpaste may have some benefit topically, the fact that much of it is swallowed during use is what poses a danger to your child. This is because the flouride used in these products is sodium fluoride (a by-product of, primarily, the phosphate fertilizer industry).
