Ingredients: now triclosan in toothpaste may affect the thyroid

I just read an interesting report about a chemical called triclosan that is in some toothpastes - the ones that say "anti-gingivitis". Turns out that, in animal studies, the triclosan negatively impacts the thyroid that controls some hormones, weight, mood, and energy. Another thing to watch out for - it's clearly on the label in the Drugs Facts box.

Obviously the other big thing to watch for is hormones, especially estrogens, in meats and dairy. Studies recommend that if you can only afford to eat partial organic, eat organic meat and dairy products to reduce hormone load. One of my theories about the crazy amount of fertility challenges that we see today is that the people - men and women - have been eating too much estrogen. Who knew back when they were children that foods contain hormones? Or that shampoos and other cosmetic items contained parabens that can turn estrogenic inside the body even though you are putting them on the body (the skin is a living organ that takes in chemicals).

Speaking of the skin, if you want to look great for the holidays and New Year, try Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture. It is absolutely the most healthy and safe option for cosmetic work. And, it improves your general health!
