Toothpaste

Toothpaste to some extent existed since the times of the ancient Greeks. The formula, which we now know, did not become popular until the time of the First World War. Once the company began to produce the toothpaste, people began to get this magical substance. It makes shine all 32 teeth, which, as we know, the norm.

Now toothpaste has become such a product, without which no civilized man can not live, or thinks that will not survive. Toothpaste - a product of daily consumption, but what makes this mixture so special? Brush your teeth you once a day or three - most of you probably have not read part of the label. What's inside? Some believe that the ingredients of toothpaste is very important, some people think that water can not be less than effective.

So, be that as it may be, let us understand why most manufacturers warn consumers of the inscription: "Do not swallow».

Formaldehyde

This is the component without which your crown can not live. Formaldehyde kills all bacteria and germs that breed on your teeth while eating or sleeping. At the same time, it is a toxic substance that affects the genetics, respiratory system, eyes and skin. If a large number fall into the tube of toothpaste, the result can be fatal: jaundice, liver and kidney damage, or even death.

Detergents

Soap, lather, a variety of solutions. What would toothpaste without soap effect that it creates in the mouth. In fact it is normal powder that you wash your dirty socks. But here's the swallowing of such a substance may cause burns of the digestive tract. Of course, is still dependent on the integrity of the manufacturer, which assumes that the toothpaste is swallowed, although in small amounts.

Seaweed

Sticky and slimy, algae make our pasta to keep the shape. Without this green toothpaste turn into a watery fluid that drained immediately with a toothbrush. The good news is that algae are not toxic. They even carry some useful value, but a hike in the sushi bar is the best way to get this benefit.

Peppermint oil

Peppermint, sweet mint, winter freshness. All this provides a range of myatnosti peppermint oil. It is thanks to the oil you can feel a breath of fresh air. But despite all the advantages, peppermint oil (of course when eating pasta) can slow the heart rate, cause heartburn and even cause muscle cramps.

Paraffin

Smooth and slippery as oil, wax is derived from petroleum. He gives toothpaste smooth and glossy film, which helps keep the shape and look nice pasta at a time as you extrude it from the tube. As you can imagine, the paraffin was not created to be eaten. If you get to eat the wax, you risk to be in the hospital with abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation.

Glycerin glycol

Never heard of this ingredient? Sure? It is used in toothpaste to prevent the paste from drying out. The substance also is widely used in anti-freeze. Although glycerol and non-toxic, it can also cause nausea and problems with the digestive tract if swallowed.

Mel

That's right, a typical chalk. Due to its composition, chalk is pretty strong stuff that is able to remove all the parched "manure" with your teeth. By inhalation of toothpaste chalk dust can cause problems with the lungs, and the consumption of chalk, can cause bleeding.

Titanium dioxide

It is another common component of a toothpaste, although it is usually in a white paint. When added to the toothpaste, titanium dioxide has an impact on the safe teeth. The walls of the teeth due dioxide are white and beautiful (at least for a few hours). Contact with titanium dioxide in the body does not hurt, although this is not recommended.

Saccharin

This is a substance that is intended to deal with a nasty taste detergent. Saccharin toothpaste gives a sweet taste, so, for what you are and enjoy your favorite pasta. Saccharin has long been a topic of debate at the expense of its usefulness, but today he is still considered a harmless substance.

Menthol

The last ingredient is intended to add menthol notes in your breath. No menthol toothpaste will your tastes just like ... chalk, glycerol, paraffin, titanium dioxide, and algae. Today, by the way, you can find a toothpaste as menthol and menthol without - can be compared.
