Hi Akhira, And there is also the fact that only single chemicals have ever been tested. There is concern that the number of chemicals that people accumulate in their bodies can be even more harmful that one chemical.

Good health

This issue is more concern about the risk that we acquire through using products which we don’t have any proper information what it can cause us once we had in contact and used the product more often. Information really counts since it makes you determine radicals that can be a great risk on your health, this is why we must see the package insert first or the information provided at the back portion of the product and else be informative through reading and asking relevant questions.

Thanks for the great tip Janette. Another method is to dip dip your toothbrush into a capful of peroxide to moisten the bristles then dip the brush into the baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). The powder will adhere to the moistened bristles and can be applied with the brush along the gum line to beat plaque.

Very sensible article. I do so agree about bicarbonate of soda. Wonderful stuff. No bacteria can live in it. I use it as a mouthwash twice a day and after years of problems I now have no gingivitis at all.

Thank you for your comment. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified styrene as a Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. I have read that Styrene oxide,a reactive metabolite of styrene, has shown positive carcinogenic effects.

No authoritative or regulatory body anywhere in the world classifies styrene to be a known cause of human cancer. Moreover, a study conducted by a “blue ribbon” panel of epidemiologists and published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (November 2009) reports: “The evidence of human carcinogenicity of styrene is inconsistent and weak. On the basis of the available evidence, one cannot conclude that there is a causal relationship between styrene and any type of human cancer.”
