These can become complex dietary changes, so here are the basic \u201cdos\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019ts\u201d:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Do\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eat mineral-rich foods like grass-fed dairy, high-quality seafood, and leafy greens.<br>Get plenty of healthy fats, like grass-fed butter or ghee, fatty fish, nuts, healthy oils (coconut, avocado, and olive oils are a great place to start), and fatty cuts of grass-fed meats.<br>Get as many non-starchy veggies in your diet as possible.<br>Eat vitamin-K rich foods, like chicken liver, pastured eggs, and grass-fed butter.<br>Drink a ton of water to keep your mouth and body well-hydrated.<br>Consider chewing sugar-free gum to help remineralize your teeth with xylitol (just be careful, as it\u2019s toxic to cats and dogs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill more than 15% of your plate with carbohydrates. The worst of these for your bacterial diversity include white bread, pasta, rice, crackers, and the like. Complex carbohydrates aren\u2019t much better for your teeth than the refined versions, but they\u2019re manageable in moderation.<br>Eat sugary candy, cookies, or desserts every day. These treats offer very little nutrition in exchange for excessive calories and, most concerning, sugar compounds that can upset your biome in as little as 1 day.<br>Drink soda, fruit juices, coffee, kombucha, or alcohol over long periods of time. While coffee and kombucha offer some health benefits, sipping on these throughout the day contributes to demineralization. If you\u2019re going for one of these beverages, try keeping it to 20-30 minutes, then brushing about 30-45 minutes afterwards.<br>Overdo it with phytic acid. Wheat products, rice, and beans\/legumes are high in phytic acid, which can contribute to oral microbiome issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflammatory Bowel Disease<br>Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) include multiple diseases, most commonly understood as inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn\u2019s disease, and ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These diseases all have one huge factor in common: chronic, persistent inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many interactions that may lead to IBD, like genetics and epigenetics, immune responses, and bacterial imbalances. However, one such factor that\u2019s gained more attention in recent years is the connection between IBD and oral disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients with IBD frequently struggle with oral and dental symptoms like dry mouth, mouth ulcers, and a rare inflammation of the lips and mouth called pyostomatitis vegetans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the research is somewhat limited on the oral microbiome quality and diversity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, here\u2019s what we know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with IBD have higher amounts of these dominant pathogenic oral bacterial species: Streptococcus, Prevotella, Neisseria, Haemophilus, Veillonella, and Gemella.<br>Inflammatory responses in IBD are associated with dysbiosis of the oral microbiome.<br>Some strains of Klebsiella bacteria in the mouth instigate the production of inflammatory TH1 cells when they colonize within the gut. These antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains tend to colonize only in a gut that is already dysbiotic. Klebsiella can \u201celicit a severe gut inflammation in the context of a genetically susceptible host.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-experience-life wp-block-embed-experience-life\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"YA4dGLeAZh\"><a href=\"https:\/\/experiencelife.lifetime.life\/article\/safe-toothpaste\/\">How to Avoid Toxins in Your Toothpaste: 12 Ingredients to Ditch Now<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to Avoid Toxins in Your Toothpaste: 12 Ingredients to Ditch Now&#8221; &#8212; Experience Life\" src=\"https:\/\/experiencelife.lifetime.life\/article\/safe-toothpaste\/embed\/#?secret=3CfYbKuthT#?secret=YA4dGLeAZh\" data-secret=\"YA4dGLeAZh\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How to Avoid Toxins in Your Toothpaste: 12 Ingredients to Ditch Now<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>it\u2019s important to know that it\u2019s what\u2019s on the inside of those packages that actually counts. Turns out, there are a lot of superfluous \u2014 and dangerous \u2014 chemicals in toothpaste. (Not to mention microbeads that appear in some brands.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many conventional toothpastes contain harmful ingredients can be difficult to recognize on the label. Below I\u2019ve outlined which of those ingredients are harmful and why you should opt for nontoxic toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mouth-body connection is very real, and bad oral health can contribute to heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and other conditions. As a result, having a healthy mouth is paramount, and anything we put into our mouths \u2014 no matter how briefly \u2014 can affect our oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our mouths are lined with protective mucous membranes, which can become irritated, inflamed, and infected with toxic ingredients. Our mouths can also absorb those chemicals into the bloodstream, while certain ingredients can disrupt the natural balance of flora (both \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad\u201d bacteria) in our mouths that aids in maintaining our oral health. This imbalance can even affect your gut microbiome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)<br>What it is: Titanium dioxide is an inorganic chemical compound added as a colorant to make toothpaste white.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: While most studies have concluded that titanium dioxide is safe for topical use on skin since it isn\u2019t absorbed, there haven\u2019t been studies to determine if it is absorbed by the mucous membranes in the mouth. According to the Environmental Working Group, there is concern about inhalation of titanium dioxide, because it may be carcinogenic and could cause nonreproductive-organ-system toxicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that titanium dioxide doesn\u2019t provide any oral benefit; it\u2019s simply part of a marketing tactic to appeal to those who like brilliantly white toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Triclosan<br>What it is: Triclosan is a pesticide added to many consumer products as an antibacterial agent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: There have been numerous animal studies that have linked triclosan to endocrine (hormone) disruption. It could also contribute to creating antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And consider this: The FDA has banned the use of triclosan in soap and body wash (but approves it for use in toothpaste). In my opinion, this is proof enough of the dangers of triclosan. Why would I put something in my mouth that I wouldn\u2019t put on my hands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)<br>What it is: SLS is a chemical compound used as a surfactant, detergent, and denaturant in various cosmetics and industrial cleaners. It\u2019s also used as a foaming agent in toothpaste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: Almost 16,000 studies have mentioned the toxic nature of SLS, yet it is still used in many cosmetic products, as well as most conventional toothpastes. EWG maintains that this chemical, which is also used as an insecticide, can cause irritation and organ toxicity. SLS irritates the mouth and strips away the lining, which can lead to canker sores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful when you\u2019re looking for this dangerous, and sneaky, chemical in toothpaste ingredient lists. Manufacturers often list SLS by other names, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)<br>Monododecyl ester<br>Sodium salt<br>Sulfuric acid<br>Sodium salt sulfuric acid<br>Monododecyl ester sodium salt sulfuric acid<br>Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt<br>Aquarex methyl<br>Akyposal SDS<br>A13-00356<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Fluoride<br>What it is: Fluoride is a chemical added to prevent cavities by aiding remineralizing of tooth structure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: There\u2019s a reason all fluoride-containing products come with an FDA warning: According to the Fluoride Action Network, even small amounts of fluoride can cause acute toxicity, characterized by nausea, vomiting, and headaches in its earliest stages. But the most shocking news about fluoride is probably the fact that no over-the-counter toothpaste formula contains enough of the substance to actually remineralize teeth, and manufacturers can\u2019t add more because of FDA regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much fluoride can also harm developing teeth in young children, who tend to swallow a lot of the toothpaste they\u2019re using, leading to fluorosis, among other issues. Also, in order for topical applications of fluoride to be effective, it needs to be put on the teeth after brushing so that the biofilm is removed and fluoride can be absorbed. (FYI: I do recommend fluoride in certain circumstances but not in over-the-counter toothpastes, as the risk-reward ratio just doesn\u2019t make sense.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>Artificial coloring<br>What it is: Artificial toothpaste colors are used to make commercial toothpaste aesthetically pleasing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: Studies have linked artificial coloring chemicals to hyperactivity and ADHD in children; in fact, a study published in 2012 by Neurotherapeutics found that artificial food colors can have a negative effect on children even if they haven\u2019t been diagnosed with ADHD. I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m much more worried about how effective my toothpaste is, not how sparkly and blue it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\">\n<li>Abrasive ingredients<br>What they are: Abrasive ingredients are added to toothpaste to help \u201cscrub\u201d biofilm from the teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: Toothpaste only needs to be mildly abrasive to be effective. Some of the abrasives used, such as hydrated silica, are too rough. These ingredients can strip away the enamel and dentin, creating sensitivity and leading to gum recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li>Parabens<br>What they are: Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives to extend the shelf life of the toothpaste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: The FDA is still reviewing and evaluating published studies on the safety of parabens. Known to disrupt hormones, parabens are used in most cosmetic products and even in most grocery items. Even if the levels in these individual products are considered \u201csafe,\u201d the accumulation in our bodies could cause problems, including a possible increase in the risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(For more about parabens, see \u201cHow Do Parabens in Personal-Care Products Affect My Health?\u201c.)<br>https:\/\/experiencelife.lifetime.life\/article\/how-do-parabens-in-personal-care-products-affect-my-health\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\">\n<li>Propylene Glycol<br>What it is: Propylene glycol is a synthetic chemical compound used as a surfactant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: Although the FDA classifies propylene glycol as GRAS (generally recognized as safe), this compound is known to irritate the skin, eyes, lungs, and mucous membranes. Case in point: the industrial-grade form is used in antifreeze, detergent solvents, and paint. Based on research showing that propylene glycol was toxic in rats after long-term use, authors of a 2013 study advised that intake of propylene glycol (and artificial colors, incidentally) be limited, especially in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"9\">\n<li>Saccharin (Sodium Saccharin)<br>What it is: Saccharin is an artificial sweetener used as a flavoring agent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: Saccharin is a known carcinogen in rats, and although it hasn\u2019t been shown to cause the same type of cancer in humans, I\u2019m not comfortable with it being added to my toothpaste for the sole purpose of making it more palatable. Also, it can cause coughing, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"10\">\n<li>Carrageenan<br>What it is: Carrageenan in toothpaste should be avoided. Carrageenan is a food additive extracted from red seaweed (also called Irish moss) and used as a thickener.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: Carrageenan has created intestinal issues, including inflammation and colon ulcerations, in some animal studies. Many people have reported intestinal distress that is resolved with the avoidance of carrageenan products. Additionally, the degraded form is a known carcinogen. During processing, the undegraded (food grade) form may be easily contaminated by the degraded form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"11\">\n<li>Aspartame<br>What it is: Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used as a flavoring agent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: When aspartame is ingested, one of the chemicals in the compound is broken down into methanol, an alcohol. Our bodies cannot properly digest it in this form. It can travel through the blood and may be converted into formaldehyde. As this builds up in the body, the damage caused can include headaches, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, and gastrointestinal distress. A 2014 study also determined that aspartame is a possible carcinogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"12\">\n<li>Diethanolamine (DEA)<br>What it is: DEA is a chemical used as a foaming agent in toothpastes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s harmful: This compound is yet another known hormone disruptor, and the EWG ranks it at a full 10 on its hazard scale. It\u2019s also used in some products to adjust the pH levels and can react with certain substances to create carcinogens. If that weren\u2019t enough, DEA is also known to cause organ-system toxicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your own toothpaste: https:\/\/askthedentist.com\/diy-probiotic-toothpaste\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-lactobacillus paracasei shows oral health benefits<br>-reuteri bacteria Live or dead may offer oral health benefits<br>-Bifidobacterium probiotic on the treatment of chronic periodontitis<br>-Dicalcium phosphate<br>-lactobacillus paracasei<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">-peppermint essential oil The inhibitory and antibacterial effects of peppermint essential oil on periodontal photogenes<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The gut-brain axis refers to the physical and chemical connections between your gut and brain.
