The "honest" Colgate label reveals a sobering truth about fluoride. It is a byproduct of industrial manufacturing historically used in processes like aluminum production, where companies sought affordable disposal methods in the mid-20th century. This chemical, now a toothpaste staple, poses serious risks if ingested. Toothpaste labels state to call poison control immediately, as it can induce nausea, interfere with heart rhythms, and lead to skeletal fluorosis with prolonged exposure. Yet, it’s applied to our teeth, where the lymphatic system circulates it into our bodies. Introduced to public health in the 1940s as a cavity fighter after being repurposed from waste, its presence prompts reflection on the long-term implications of using an industrial discard in daily oral care.
Curious minds would like to know exactly how much did lobbyists spend to get this accomplished?
Much Love,
