Who would have thunk that the consumer should really be on guard as to what he or she or the baby consumes?
Who would have even considered products that go into our mouths should be suspect to the level where there is increasing danger to the public health?
The FDA is withdrawing several brands of toothpaste made in China from shelves in the market place because they contain traces of a chemical known to be hazardous to health - Diethylene glycol (DEG) - an industrial solvent used in engine coolants and anti-freeze. DEG was found in toothpaste sold in the Dominican Republic, Panama and in China.
In the 36,000 tubes of possibly contaminated toothpaste were tubes of toothpaste marketed for children with bubble gum and strawberry flavors sold under the name of “Mr. Cool Junior.”
Here are some of the names of the banned product from China with DEG, sold at low-cost outlet stores.

Check your brands.
In the meantime, reconsider the use of toothpaste especially as concerns, as the fluoride might also be hazardous to children's health, not by being in the product, but by children's behaviour of eating and swallowing toothpaste while brushing their teeth.
An alternative is to wash your mouth with soap instead(click here for earlier blog on this topic).
Know about the link between fluoride and other chemicals in toothpaste, toxic chemicals in tap water, and your dental health.
For those, like me, who would like to save their teeth and heal their gums, try Tooth Soap. Read Dr Judd's book on Good Teeth from Birth to Death
With this book, Dr Judd has placed in everyone’s hand the complete answer to tooth cavities. Following his procedure he assures that there will not be one more cavity, one more gingivitis case, or one more fluorosed, brittle, cracked tooth in the world.
