You rise to a beautiful day and begin your day with a simple dental routine that includes gargling with mouthwash but have you ever stopped to question how beneficial or safe those ingredients are? Well, this scenario is described as "pure innocence" because companies continue to mislead us with their slick marketing; proclaiming their products are safe and functional yet they include an array of carcinogenic ingredients. As always, I truly believe that taking the time to research these ingredients are key to making informed choices.
Who would have thought that following such a simple routine like gargling with mouthwash could be linked to Oral cancer? According to an Australian study led by Professor McCullough, chair of the Australian Dental Association's therapeutics committee, said the alcohol in mouthwashes "increases the permeability" of the mucus membrane to other carcinogens, such as nicotine. A toxic breakdown product of alcohol called acetaldehyde that may accumulate in the oral cavity when swished around the mouth is also a "known human carcinogen," he said. He also states that conventional mouthwashes contains as much as 26 per cent alcohol. And although the best solution is to avoid mouthwashes, they can also be limited to short term medical use as suggested by the Professor.
Another option would be the Miessence alcohol-free Organic mouthwash which will leave you with the utmost fresh breath gratifying experience ever and even more divine when combined with the Miessence Toothpaste. Want to take this experience throughout your day? Then you'll also love their Organic alcohol-free breath freshener spray which is small enough for on the go trips. All of these great alternatives are free of chemical nasties and available online here.
Going green starts with simple acts such as converting to sustainable products -- products that will contribute to both your well being and beautiful planet. Wishing you all the best of health!
