RE: Cetylpyridinium Chloride, Toothpaste, and Mitochondria... Oh My!

in #science7 years ago (edited)

I've never looked at it like this. Some of these compound that we see as "safe" are not too safe. One of my friends once told me that toothpaste is not safe. He advocates for brushing with salt; But I really can't imagine it.

Sort:  

I honestly wouldn't worry about it. It's worth knowing but I tried to make a point at the end to stress that this is not something to be overly concerned about. Toothpaste is perfectly safe.

Perhaps we should make changes to the type of antiseptics we use, but even that is not definitively clear. What this research indicates is that there is clearly a need for more study on this. Not time for panic yet.
