I recently wrote a story about tooth paste and how fluoride was also used in rat poison and insecticides. Now today I learn about tooth paste sold at the dollar store and how its not good for my health. The studies that found out that generic toothpaste contained ethylene glycol this stuff is used to make coolants we call it anti-freeze. They have a generic version of colgate and it is considered the worse. So if you are like many American right now, you are trying to save a buck, but the manufactures don't the decency to place a disclaimer on that product. Like the big one on Anti freeze, brake and transmission fluids. It says Warning you drink this you are in trouble! Right now when you are caught between a rock and a hard place. You have to make a decision price vs cost. You see price is what we pay for that toothpaste, a $1.00 and you save some money. The cost is the long time negative effect that it could have on you and your family's life. If years later you develop cancer because of using that tooth paste and have to go through extreme cases of radiation treatment, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. Would the dollar or two you save from buying the generic tooth paste be worth it? There has to be a point when self preservation says your life is worth that extra 3,4 or 5 dollars.
Sometimes just because they say its good, does not mean it is good!
