Is there a reason why your family does not use fluoride? I know you’ve mentioned that you like to drink fluoride-free water in addition to the fluoride-free toothpaste. I thought that it was necessary to prevent cavities in your teeth.
Thanks, Erin! The idea that fluoride helps to prevent cavities is based on disingenuous studies that only shared selective information. Money is behind it all.
There’s a lot of information online about this, but basically, prolonged use of fluoride does more harm to your teeth than good.
Fluoride is a poison…
A quick look online and this:
“This is why the FDA requires a poison warning on every tube of fluoride toothpaste now sold in the US. Risks from ingesting fluoride toothpaste include permanent tooth discoloration (dental fluorosis), stomach ailments, acute toxicity, skin rashes (perioral dermatitis), and impairment in glucose metabolism.”
“What are the side effects of too much fluoride?
Too much fluoride before 8 years of age, a time when teeth are developing, can cause enamel fluorosis, a discoloration or mottling of the permanent teeth. For most, the changes are subtle. In one study, 94% of identified fluorosis cases were very mild to mild.”
*Nothing about helping to prevent cavities, but rather, fluoride damages the teeth.*
And sadly, if you live in the US, you’re going to ingest fluoride one way or another because it’s in most of our water sources (and in lots of products we buy at the grocery store). So we do what we can to cut down on our consumption. I hope this helps. π
Those essential oils were a really great deal. I hope you like them as well as the other ones.
I need to get some eye brightener to try too. I have fair skin and those dark circles are naturally always there even when I am rested. But they make me look tired all the time.
Hi, Shelly! We’re enjoying the essential oils and the eye brightener is great. I definitely recommend it! π
