brushing those pearly whites…
After making the switch to CleanWell way back when after being schooled on the dangers of Triclosan, not just to our bodies, but to our environment as well… it came as a shock to me one day to read on my Colgate Total ingredient list none other than Triclosan! It definitely made me look at all ingredients around me more carefully.
I happened to stumble upon this intuitive guide to toothpaste:

Have you checked your medicine cabinet lately?
Thanks for linking to me! Always apprecited. It’s nice to see that you’re in NYC also – wish you had a store I could get to.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Great blog! Thanks for continually spreading the word on the dangers of Triclosan. The more people who know about this toxic chemical the better.
Those of us who are concerned about the effects of Triclosan are not alone. The Breast Cancer Fund and Food & Water Watch are making it easier for the average citizen to make their voices heard by the EPA. Check out my blog post if you would like to know more and take action.
With enough concerned citizens speaking up, maybe the EPA will re-examine Triclosan soon. http://spotsonmyapples.blogspot.com/2009/05/saying-no-to-triclosan-make-your-voice.html
