About Me

My photo
For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

360: Is Your Toothpaste Poison?: September 16, 2007

Is Your Toothpaste Poison? magnify
So...I ran out of toothpaste last week.... Lazy me! Finally I went to the store, cash in hand to buy more....


Normally (for the past 20+ years) I use a Natural toothpaste, no fluoride, no additives....


Well being at the end of my pay period...I decided to buy what was on sale....Buy 1 Get 1 Free...Hmmmm


So, now it's been a week and for some reason I decide to read the back of the tube...where it says: "Children Under 6 years; To minimize swallowing, use a pea-sized amount and supervise brushing until good habits are established. Children Under 2 years; Ask a dentist or physician".


Now why would you have to make sure a kid doesn't swallow toothpaste?


The answer is in the next paragraph on the tube, which reads: "Warning; Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If You Accidentally SWALLOW MORE THAN USED FOR BRUSHING, Seek PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE OR CONTACT a POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY. As with other toothpastes, if irritation occurs discontinue use".


Poison Control Center? HELLOOOOO!!!! What in the hell are these people trying to do to us? And how many animals did they kill in their labs by forcing them to ingest this SHIT..before they decided to market this crap with a warning.


"If IRRITATION OCCURS Discontinue Use"? Irritation? IRRITATION? The Fact that I'm Ingesting a bit of POISON 2-3 times a day IRRITATES the HELL Out of Me!!!


You betcha...this is being sent back to the makers: GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, LP


They have the nerve to use the word "Healthcare" in their company name?


Oh...BTW: Your inquiring minds are curious about the brand? Aquafresh: Extreme Clean Arctic Cool!


Yeah, I think I'll pass on dying with ultra clean, white, and shiny teeth!
