Did you know even your toothpaste can be harmful? Just read the ingredients! Toothpaste is an over processed product, and even though you don't eat it, it goes in to your mouth where the first step of digestion occurs! Toothpaste will be absorbed into the body, as well as into your teeth and gums of course! So what's so bad you ask? Harmful chemicals that can negatively affect your long-term health: 1.Fluoride - by-product of aluminum manufacturing & used to kill rats 2. Triclosan - classified as a pesticide by the EPA 3. Sodium sulfate - can turn carcinogenic and stay in the body for days 4. Glycol - active ingredient in antifreeze 5. DEA - a foaming agent, which can cause cancer and hormone imbalances. 6. Artificial sweeteners and/or gmo corn sweeteners So how do you avoid these dangerous chemicals? Just make it simple & make it yourself! Here's my toothpaste recipe: Equal parts COCONUT OIL & BAKING SODA (organic) and PEPPERMINT ESSENTIAL OILS (as much as you want until desired minty-ness) Coconut oil is very effective against tooth decay, it's inexpensive to make, and completely safe! So what are you waiting for?! #coconutoil #coconutoiltoothpaste #organictoothpaste #simple #clean #eattolive #brushtolive
