Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Is There Triclosan in Your Toothpaste? Watch out for this chemical. It's included in 'germ killing' tooth-pastes, mouthwashes, deodorants, soaps, on and on. But is it safe? The EPA sees it as a pesticide and a high risk factor to human health. Triclosan is in a class of chemicals suspected of causing cancer in humans. Stored in body fat, it can accumulate to toxic levels, damaging the liver, kidneys, and lungs, and can suppress your immune function. A popular 'holistic' toothpaste contains sodium lauryl sulfate, another toxic chemical. Look at the 'ingredients' list of your tooth-paste to be sure you don't expose yourself to it.
