Researchers find popular additive triclosan dangerous. Scandinavian experts warn pregnant women against using anti-bacterial toothpaste, and fear the effects of the popular additive triclosan. Toothpastes labeled “Total” contain the anti-bacterial substance triclosan and Norwegian and Swedish experts advise against exposing infants to the substance, newspaper VG reports.
The most disturbing quote by far:
“The chemical triclosan is classified by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a pesticide”.
So anyone using toothpastes like Colgate Total et al are basically screwed or should be scared?
