Toothpaste is a kind of daily necessities that we use many times every day, but can you think that such things also contain high cancer risk? These things are really harmful to our health. Toothpaste also contains such a serious carcinogen, which really surprised me. Do you dare to use such a thing? Pay attention to 5 1 health network and let me know.
In fact, the toothpaste we usually use contains a lot of triclosan, which is an important factor leading to our unhealthy health.
Toxicity: The oral LD50 of triclosan to mice is about 3800mg/kg, which is a low toxic substance.
The debate about triclosan actually comes from the experiment of a teacher at Virginia Tech. He found that products containing triclosan can form a substance called "rosin" after reacting with chlorine-containing tap water, which is chloroform. Chloroform is used as an anesthetic. Animal experiments have found that this substance can cause damage to the heart and liver, slightly teratogenic and can induce liver cancer in mice.
Triclosan is an effective antibacterial ingredient in daily necessities such as toothpaste and hand sanitizer. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is evaluating the safety of triclosan, which will react with residual chlorine gas in tap water to produce chloroform. The safety of triclosan is questioned because chloroform is labeled as a possible carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Colgate, Crest and other brands of toothpaste have attracted much public attention because of their involvement in the triclosan storm.
