It is a shame that even today, we are using toothpaste that contains banned chemicals and toxic substances.
The famous New York Times recently published an article that the noted toothpaste company, Colgate is using use Triclosan, in its ‘Colgate Total’ variety of toothpaste, even after the Food and Drug Administration has banned its use in soaps. Triclosan was originally registered as a pesticide in 1969 and is “a chlorinated aromatic compound that is used as a synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent.” This substance is known to be an endocrine disruptor and a suspected cancer causing agent.
The big question here is, that if the use of Triclosan has been banned in soaps, how come we are using it in toothpastes, on a daily basis? Even a little absorption of Triclosan in the human body is majorly harmful for us.
News and reports like these only make us want to go back to the original Indian medicine, that is, Ayurveda. However, a lot of urbanites and socialites think that it is “not cool” to use Patanjali products which are herbal in nature. If you are one of those elite people, you are harming your and your family’s health adversely. There are still many people who believe that using Ayurvedic products is a total sham, when compared to the modern science and Allopathic medicines.
These people seem to forget the fact that alternative medicines such as Ayurveda and Unani are based on whole sciences studied over centuries and the empirical evidence they offer has also been consistently used as a platform by modern science. The MNCs, nowadays seem to be going back to the Ayurveda and herbal products.
It is well known that Ayurveda and Homeopathy are a sure shot cure for chronic illness and we hope that the people at large realise this at the earliest.
