So don’t swallow the toothpaste. Also, don’t drink listerine.

I know a lot of folk with gut problems, mostly women. I wonder if something like this could be the cause.

For those who fear Triclosan, just brush your teeth once a month, and you’ll be fine. Your teeth, not so much.

Dial soap had triclosan. Don’t know if it still does.

Colgate removed Triclosan from their Total toothpaste a few years back, is there still any toothpaste in the U.S. that has it?

The FDA allowed Triclosan in toothpaste because the connection between gum inflamation and heart inflamation is well established (bacteria spread through the bloodstream) and it was judged that the benefits outweighed the risk. But that decision came many years ago.

Triclosan isn’t in toothpaste anymore, but there are other ingredients you need to be aware of.

If you’ve been concerned about your toothpaste having triclosan—an antibacterial that helps prevent gingivitis—the good news is that it’s essentially gone from the market, though it’s still technically permitted.May 2, 2019

Most artificial sweeteners have a similar harmful effect on gut bacteria.

Stevia (used in Truvia, among others) is apparently OK, as is monk fruit sweetener.

According to wikipedia this chemical is required to be on the ingredient list. I checked my toothpaste and it wasn’t there. But I found out it has saccharin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, and cocamidopropyl betaine.
I need to look up those last two.

“Scientists Warn That Triclosan – Found in Toothpaste and Toys – Triggers Harm to the Gut”

A couple of decades ago the company I worked for wanted to create a plastic with antimicrobial properties for use in appliances. They were considering using Triclosan as the additive so arranged for our team to meet with their scientists. The meeting did not go well as I asked them about potential carcinogenicity of their product, which they denied. Unfortunately for them I had the scientific publications with me that raised the issue. They claimed never to have seen them. I also told them that based on the structure of Triclosan I thought it would readily convert to a chlorinated dioxin (a carcinogen) under plastic extrusion/molding temperatures. They denied this, but it was found to be true after test runs. They also claimed that bacteria did not become resistant to Triclosan. At that point I told them I had already run some tests had a bunch of strains in the fridge that were resistant to many times above their recommended concentration, and did they want some slants? That was the most fun I ever had in a meeting.
