Toothpaste
During the elimination diet, I really started looking into the ingredients in my food and in the products I use on my body. The first product that I switched out was my toothpaste. I have always used Colgate Total toothpaste but after researching it and the ingredients in it, I learned that long-term there can be some bad side-effects from this product. It contains Triclosan which can cause hormone imbalance and can harm the immune system, among other side-effects. I switched to Hello which is a naturally whitening fluoride toothpaste. It is made with farm grown mint, tea tree and coconut oil and works great! It is also bpa-free, has no phthalates, is made in the usa, is cruelty free and vegan.
