Why does toothpaste bother to say 'with fluoride!' when you can't find it without? | |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 577090 United States01/08/2009 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Go to a natural health food store, and you can find toothpaste without flouride ... several brands available. I agree, it's a crime that major stores only carry flouride toothpaste ... maybe that's a clue for you: shop at your local natural foods stores. . |

Maybe not the ones at the natural foods. I'll have to check. I'm sure it will cost double. This post pending review. [link to kindagamey.com] |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 588160 United States01/08/2009 05:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Stop using toothpaste. It does nothing for your teeth that the brush can't do by itself. Also toothpaste contains GLYCERIN. This stuff sticks to your teeth and forms a coating that prevents you saliva from remineralizing your teeth. Keeps dentists busy. A little baking soda or salt is good. Your choice. Go with the crowd or think for yourself. |

Also make sure to use toms all natural deodorant -- it does not have aluminum in it (Alzheimer cause) [link to www.tomsofmaine.com] |

It's pure (relative), really tasty, and really effective. Whitens, brightens, etc. No garbage in it, and much cheaper than Tom's of Maine or the other trendy stuff. wtf?

Go look at your tooth paste. Now would you want that in your kids mouth? Tom's toothpaste is not poison. |

If you don't like the taste, add a (very small, it's mega powerful) drop of organic peppermint oil. Swish with a mixture of 50/50 warm water & peroxide.
