| SLS free toothpaste |
Recently, while browsing Craigslist, I came across an
interesting post emphasizing “I'm not selling anything.” The post was about
Canker sores and it got me interested in further research on this subject and
the benefits of SLS free toothpastes. I rarely develop canker but I have compiled a LIST of SLS free Toothpastes.
But, first, here is the POST from the Craigslist:
los angeles craigslist > westside-southbay > community > general communityDo you get Canker sores "mouth ulcers"? (I'm not selling anything)Date: 2012-02-20, 8:24PM PST
Canker sores, also known as "mouth ulcers," plague the lives of millions of people all over the world. These small oral ulcers can make life unbearable when eating, drinking, speaking, or swallowing.
Unfortunately, the public ends up creating their own "canker sore" problem by using commercial toothpastes, which contain an ingredient that is proved to be linked to canker sores. It's called sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and it is placed into toothpastes and some mouthwashes in order to create foaming! (Sodium lauryl sulfate is also the main ingredient in your shampoo - go check it out.)
The harshness of this chemical has been proven to create microscopic damage to the oral tissue which lines the inside of your mouth, which then leads to canker sores. The companies that sell toothpaste with SLS in it also sell canker sore medications so you can see why they do it. A good place to find SLS free toothpaste is Trader Joes, Whole Food Market, or GNC

--------
Available literature suggests that a variety of factors may
contribute to the formation of canker sores such as: acidic foods, food
allergies, menstruation, heredity, impaired immunity, mouth injuries, and some
chemicals, especially sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which is found in most
commercial toothpastes.
However, it seems the main cause is not known and, all of
these factors are secondary triggers and not the primary cause. Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) definitely
appears to be a significant culprit and it may make body more vulnerable to
other triggers of Canker sores. Canker sores tend to gradually diminish when
people switch to SLS free toothpaste.
Therefore, it is prudent to use toothpaste that would not
trigger canker sores. SLS free toothpastes are available at a number of natural
product stores and online retailers.
