Beware of Triclosan
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have just read an article on the chemical Triclosan, which is an ingredient in the Colgate Toothpaste 'Total' range. Triclosan apparently disrupts the endocrine system and throws off hormonal function, something that none of us on this forum need. I've been using this toothpaste off and on for years, so it is about to get the big heave ho from my bathroom cabinet. I did check out the ingredients of Colgates other ranges and they don't have Triclosan as an ingredient.

Products Containing Triclosan. Due to public pressure, many major manufacturers have quietly begun reformulating their products without triclosan..

Triclosan is not currently known to be hazardous to humans.
Animal studies have shown that triclosan alters hormone regulation. However, data showing effects in animals don’t always predict effects in humans.

Emis Moderator comment: I have removed the link as it went to a sign in page. If you Google Triclosan news there are lots of articles about it.
