  1. Thank you for the painstaking research and heartbreaking news about toothpastes, much needed information. The only thing, the only recommendations for safer toothpastes are for kids tooth pastes: – 2 of which are cost prohibitive ( Pegciz Kids Foam Toothpaste, and Kid’s Spry Tooth Gel with Xylitol). One is currently unavalable (Miessence Mint Toothpaste is not available at amazon and very difficult to find elsewhere). The only 3 you can find are fruity flavors for kids. You and your husband are adults-what brand of safer toothpaste do you use, for example? Sorry it’s such an unhealthy maze out there, but there are adults that need tootpaste too, and what do we do?

  2. Thank you Tamara! I sincerely appreciate all the work you have done to educate and inform on lead in our food supply, Thank you.
