Indeed the modern era . When first using Siwak brushing your teeth or brick powder , now many people are turning to toothpaste . Yes , toothpaste is considered more practical , more attractive , and easy to obtain tnentunya . Not only in the super market , in small stalls are now we could find toothpaste . However, today there is toothpaste dangerous content that not many people know . Iu harmful content is fluoride .
Basically , toothpaste containing various types of fluoride . Fluoride is widely used types monofluoro sodium phosphate ( MFP ) and sodium fluoride ( NaF ) . According to Faith Firman , Institute for Consumer Research Team Jakarta Public Interest Research and Advocacy Center ( lkj PIRAC ) , in Indonesia, the content of fluoride in toothpaste child is quite large , which is between 800-1500 ppm . Whereas in some countries , the maximum fluoride content began to be reduced . For example , in European countries , Australia , and New Zealand fluoride content ranges from 250-500 ppm .
The results Belgian Ministry of Health concluded that the use of excessive fluoride can lead to osteoporosis and nervous system damage . This prompted the Belgian government banned the circulation of all types of tablets and candies that contain fluoride . The Belgian government also presented the results of their research in front of members of the European Union to obtain mutual agreement banning toothpaste that contains fluoride .
Fluoride in toothpaste is usually a monofluoro sodium phosphate or sodium fluoride . Almost all toothpastes containing fluoride are sold in Indonesia . Fluoride in 50 years to be an effective ingredient to protect tooth enamel from acid damage and prevent cavities . However, there are some studies that claim that the use of fluoride in the long term it has a number of dangers for the human body .
In 1990 Dr . John Colquhoun doing research on 60,000 school children and found that the number of children in fluoridated areas suffered loss given teeth ( fluorosis ) . Additionally FDA scientists ( Food and Drug Administration ) also suggested a relationship between fertility rates of women aged 10-49 years with increasing fluoride pengguanaan . Other studies have also proved that 1 ppm fluoride in the water may produce substances that can damage the brain . These substances can cause Alzheimers disease .
Actually fluoride contained in toothpaste can be efficacious for the levels are not excessive . WHO set a minimum so that the components can be efficacious fluoride is 800 ppm . While the FDA sets the standard content of fluoride in toothpaste of 800 to 1500 ppm , but for kids toothpaste span of 250 to 500 ppm . Although we use a toothpaste that meets safety criteria but please note that there is fluoride in toothpaste can be ingested into the stomach .
This can happen when we brush his teeth there are some toothpaste and saliva is swallowed into the stomach . A study of Prof. . Dirk Vanden Berghe stated that about 30-40 percent of toothpaste is swallowed by a child - a child when brushing teeth or through saliva . This can lead to fluoride contained in toothpaste is fluoride accumulate and lead to overdose . Very likely , especially for children to swallow most of the toothpaste used when brushing your teeth . This is because the toothpaste kids - kids with an added flavor and aroma of delicious flavors such as fruits .
FDA also imposes limits on the use of fluoride toothpaste at 0.15 % . Therefore, before buying toothpaste should we look at the composition of the ingredients if the levels are safe for use . But now the fact that almost all toothpastes contain fluoride so it is quite difficult to find toothpaste without fluoride . If using fluoride toothpaste should choose a toothpaste that contains 50 percent fluoridenya taken in accordance with regulations made by the FDA .
Our health is very important . Do not let us use a product that aims to nourish the body , but it can harm the body even though the long- term money .
