Just discovered i've likely been brushing my teeth with lead and arsenic.

Apparently many products of Tom's of Maine are contaminants have been contaminated with lead and arsenic. I used it because my parents bought me it and it was fluoride free. I got a video on my tiktok feed about how one of their products were tested and had shown 50x the detectable amount of lead. This goes to show that you cannot trust anything in your environment and you have to extensively research anything you use. Even things that are labeled for a health-conscious target audience doesn't necessarily mean that they are healthy. Pisses me off. I'm gonna use coconut oil instead.

@Swansven Yeah I am glad I never fell for those natural bullshit toothpastes also, I looked at the back of one of them at store and they had like 50 ingredients also. nahh. Probably close as bad as fluoride.

Primal toothpaste if you have the ingredients

Otherwise, I use apple cider vinegar once a week if I feel too much plaque on my teeth, and then I rinse my mouth with fat (coconut, butter, marrow, beef fat).

It's important to rinse your mouth with milk or fat after applying vinegar because it attacks the enamel. I brush for a maximum of 30 seconds with vinegar and then rinse with milk or fat.

I also discovered a great way to brush my teeth: I literally use my urine, and it works like a charm.

Really? You use urine, what’s the Benefits
