One area that seems to be a theme with some anti-establishment & health groups is 'toxic toothpaste'. While most are fearful of the fluoride, I am not. Instead I agree with experts like Dr. David Suzuki (the Canadian version of Michael Moore), and worry about the chemicals added for other benefits like bacteria control and specifically tartar control.

While advertisers on the show would be upset hearing this I would recommend that people avoid 'total' type toothpastes and tartar fighting brands. There are specific problems that make me nervous and further information and links can be found at www.ToxicToothpaste.org.
