Your go-to dental floss brand is as TOXIC as putting plumber’s tape in your mouth!
That’s right—most dental floss is made up of teflon fiber (the same stuff in plumber’s tape and non-stick pans), and here’s why: A recent study found that women using Oral B Glide had higher levels of PFAS, or ‘Forever Chemicals,’ in their blood!
These harmful forever chemicals stay in your body for a long time and are linked to serious health issues like liver damage, hormone disruption, immune system issues, and even potentially c*ncer!
You can ditch Oral B, but it won’t solve the problem: many other dental floss brands also use plastic fibers like nylon and polyester, releasing microplastics into your body every time you floss.
To make matters worse, most dental floss is coated with petroleum-based wax. As the toxic cherry on top, they add chemical fragrances too!
The good news? There are some safer options; look for dental floss made of silk or bamboo coated with non-toxic waxes like beeswax.
