> What’s your taste in toothpaste?

>

> The Bite:

> If you're gonna put something in your mouth, it

> better taste and feel

> good. So - next time you brush, think about what's

> in your toothpaste

> tube, swish, spit, then switch to an all-natural

> option.

>

>

> The Benefits:

> - Give good grin without the chems found in

> traditional toothpastes.

> Avoid the ingredient triclosan (an antibacterial),

> which may be an

> immunohazard. Choose silica, bamboo or calcium

> carbonate for whitening

> and zinc citrate to avoid tartar and gingivitis.

> - Avoid mouth ulcers. Scandinavian researchers found

> that using sodium

> laureth/lauryl sulfate-free toothpaste led to a

> 60-70% decrease in

> canker sores.

> - Down the hatch. Worry less about accidental

> swallowing.

> - Natural versions are biodegradable and often use

> recycled packaging.

> By using recycled cartons, Tom's of Maine saves more

> than 375,000 lbs

> of solid waste per year.

> Personally Speaking

> When Heather and Jen visit each other, you won't

> find them sharing

> toothpaste. Heather LOVES Tom's of Maine's

> Antiplaque plus Whitening.

> Jen - not so much - she's into TheraNeem Herbal

> Toothpaste (which

> Heather won't use 'cuz it's green-colored). Try 'em

> for yourself and

> sound off in the Great Toothpaste Showdown in the

> blog.

>

> Wanna Try?

> Note: many natural toothpastes don't contain

> fluoride. If that's a

> concern for you, just check the label.

> - Tom's of Maine's Antiplaque plus Whitening Gel -

> " it's so minty it

> burns, " says Heather. Does contain SLS ($7).
