CHEMICALS TO AVOID 101: ALL OTHER MAINSTREAM TOOTHPASTE INGREDIENTS

"BUT NOT MY TOOTHPASTE BRO! I HAVE CREST SUPER-3D-CLEAN!!!" You might be saying.

You'd be surprised how much COMPLETE AND UTTER HORSESHIT is in mainstream toothpastes, many of which dentists even blindly recommend just because the American Dental Association (ADA) gets paid to endorse it.

However, you would be bummed to find out that around 99.9% of ALL toothpastes have the EXACT same shitty-ass ingredients. Let's break them down into these 3 easy points:

#1) Glycerin-
This is ALWAYS ANIMAL GLYCERIN unless the company specifies that it's plant-based glycerin. They make this by basically smashing up animal parts until it's gooey so you can shovel it into your mouth every night. OH, and by the way, your toothpaste being gooey, and not abrasive at all, is actually a bad thing. You want that hard scrubbing action, which is how you get that "smooth, clean, dentist feeling" which I get EVERY fuckin time I brush my teeth because that's the way it's supposed to be. More on what I use later!

#2 Sodium Lauryl (or Laurel or Laureth) Sulfate (SLS for short) -
This molecule acts a lot like the Phospho-lipids, the most important molecules of the outsides of our cells which make up a majority of the cell membrane. When you wash with SLS it bubbles up and those bubbles are, partly the SLS, partly the phospho-lipids of your cells. I mean don't get me wrong, when you rub your skin, you probably knock of hundreds if not thousands of cells but I don't like the idea of my skin being rubbed off into bubbles, and there's no need for this in your toothpaste. It's just one more gooey ingredient.

#3 FUCKING COLORING, MAN-
You would think that, in the professional world of science where, we all know artificial colors are bad, you wouldn't have them in the average product, but, WRONG.
There are SO many artificial coloring agents out there, and some of them are easy to spot, whereas some require further research. I don't feel the need to explain the ones that actually have a color in the name, but what I do want to mention is TITANIUM DIOXIDE. This Titanium atom with 2 oxygen atoms is a known carcinogen and it is a WHITENING AGENT, meaning it makes things, like your gooey toothpaste, multivitamins, yogurt, Ranch Dressing, etc VERY... Well, Caucasian. Which, you guessed it, is completely useless and doing much more harm than good.

#4 Fluoride-
