Make your own fluoride free toothpaste

Everyday it seems like more and more people are becoming aware of the health risks of exposure to fluoride not just in drinking water but in food, drink, and oral care products.  When it comes to toothpaste, there some great brands out there, but they usually charge nearly twice as much as traditional fluoride paste.  Not all hope is lost, though, you can make your own non toxic toothpaste!  Here is what you need...

Did you know that fluoride is more toxic than lead, used by the nazis to poison people, and was also used as rat poison?  It causes cancer, and compromises bone health.  Perhaps it is time to make a change.  Here are the steps to make your nontoxic toothpaste:

  • Use a 50/50 ratio of coconut oil to baking soda.
  • Add a few drops of essential oil from spearmint or peppermint for flavor.
  • Add some stevia for sweetness.
  • Keep the mix in a jar and use as needed, no need to refrigerate this mix!
