Triclosan in Toothpaste
Alters gut microbiome, increases antibiotic resistant bacteria in intestines
Recent research finds triclosan in toothpaste may alter your gut microbiome and slowly increase the number of potentially antibiotic resistant bacteria in your intestines. Switching to a safer alternative may reduce your risk.
Despite documented health risks, and a ban for use in antibacterial soap, you may still find triclosan in your toothpaste, especially those aimed at children.
Triclosan may be linked to endocrine disruption and nearly every person these days has some kind of hormonal disruption. If your toothpaste has triclosan in it, switch to a safe and natural alternative such as those that we sell at CBM.
