Title: Critics slam FDA for not banning ‘dangerous’ toothpaste chemical
Post by: mozart123 on September 05, 2016, 07:43:32 AM
Horrified consumers are foaming at the mouth that the Food and Drug Administration has banned the chemical ingredient triclosan from hand and body washes — but not toothpaste.

Triclosan is found in Colgate Total, which manufacturer Colgate-Palmolive calls the “only toothpaste approved by the FDA to help fight plaque and gingivitis.”

“It doesn’t make sense. You can’t put it on your skin, but you can put it in your mouth?” asked an incredulous Mark Christopher, 29, of Bushwick, Brooklyn.
