  It's listed online (albeit out of stock) so I presume it's national. May have to stop by Priceline on the way home. :-)

  Just in case you guys don't know, in most cases Colgate Total does better for sensitive teeth than this version, just don't rinse after brushing.

  After all, the only good toothpaste Colgate make is Total Original, everything else is literally shelf fillers.

    I wouldn't be using Colgate Total as it contains triclosan, a known carcinogen - https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/07/well/live/why-your-toothp… How the FDA could say it's OK for toothpaste but not soap is mind boogling.

        tin foil hat or not, I'm not touching Colgate Total again; why take the risk when other products are out there.

        @try2bhelpful: Yep, can just use bottled water instead that comes straight from the stream in a non BPA bottle, prefereable not any kind of plastic or metal as you can get contaminents that can lead to cancer. So basically only drink water from the stream. From the tap can cause cancer also, way too many chemicals in there too. While you are at it, don't eat apples, because we know apples are quite bad for your teeth with it's chemicals too!!!!!

        @OnlinePred: There are things that are an issue and things that aren't. I think some things are worth the risk and some things aren't. Obviously you are happy to eat sushi laced with polonium, but that is your choice.

        @try2bhelpful: Yep, I am happy to eat micro amounts of chemicals in everything I eat and drink. It would be nearly impossible to avoid this stuff unless you lived on another planet. Literally the air most of us breath is more likely to cause health implications that using toothpaste haha

        @try2bhelpful:
        What's polonium?

      • 

        try2bhelpful on 28/01/2017 - 15:51

        @OnlinePred: Yup, and if you ate micro amounts of Polonium you would, most likely, be dead. "a fatal 4.5 Sv dose can be caused by ingesting 8.8 MBq (240 µCi), about 50 nanograms (ng), or inhaling 1.8 MBq (49 µCi), about 10 ng. One gram of 210Po could thus in theory poison 20 million people of whom 10 million would die."

        Glad you can predict what is going to be an issue and what isn't. We could've done with you when they released thalidomide, asbestos use was common and they added lead to petrol. At one point these were all considered as "acceptable" risks. It was only once the evidence mounted up that something came from it. I have no idea if "Total" is an issue, or not; but there are a lot of alternatives I can select instead of it.

        BTW:
        I would not drink water from a stream as, sometimes, it will be contaminated with pesticides and faeces; particularly anywhere near farm land. Tap water is treated to make it safer. (See, good chemicals).

        There is also some discussion on eating apples and their effect on teeth, mainly due to their relatively high sugar content. In moderation they would not be an issue.

        Everything is made up of chemicals, but some chemicals are beneficial, some are neutral and some are harmful. Some are even harmful in small doses.

      Colgate explain here,
      http://www.colgatetotal.com/health-benefits/triclosan-safety…

      "On September 2, 2016, the FDA issued a final rule on consumer antibacterial hand soaps, that prohibits the continued use of triclosan and 18 other antibacterial ingredients, as of September 6, 2017. The FDA concluded that soap manufacturers had not submitted adequate safety evidence for use in these products; the agency did not conclude that triclosan in soap is unsafe. The FDA's rule with respect to consumer antibacterial hand soaps do not impact Colgate Total's® NDA approval, which has not changed."

      I spoke with a friend who is a qualified chemical engineer. He said triclosan is not effective on hands in hand soap because you need to soak for an extended period of time. We didn't talk about carcinogens nor Colgate Total.

      I know, Colgate could be lying, but this is a definitive statement and would get Colgate in a world of butthurt if it's a lie.

      TL;DR Colgate Total seems ok. Logic from FDA seems feasible.
