Toothpaste

Many commercial toothpastes boast the use of fluoride to strengthen enamel. Did you know that the fluoride they’re championing is a byproduct of the aluminum industry? At best, fluoride is simply unnecessary. Studies show it may only be effective when your teeth are first coming in. At worst, it can harm your overall health, with links to thyroid problems and drops in IQ.

Fluoride-free, natural or homemade toothpastes, oil-pulling, and a mineral-rich, sugar-free diet are all far safer ways to protect your oral health.
