Seeing Fudge of "Effective Toothpaste" from "Triclosan Carcinogenicity"

Recently, toothpaste containing triclosan may be carcinogenic, and ** a loss. However, there is no evidence that triclosan may be carcinogenic or dangerous. It may only be potentially unsafe. There is no scientific basis to prohibit the use of triclosan.

In fact, triclosan-containing toothpaste can resist oral inflammation such as gingivitis and has so-called "antibacterial" and "bleeding" functions. Manufacturers in order to highlight the efficacy of this selling point, the use of the state to allow use, but whether it exceeds the standard? Is it excessive? No consumer knows!

This reminds people that on March 12, 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the QB2966 “Effective Toothpaste” standard, which stipulates that “the raw materials used in the production of functional toothpaste should meet the requirements of GB22115”, ie “Specifications for Raw Materials for Toothpaste”. . It also stipulates: “Effective validation studies should be conducted on the basis of the safety evaluation of efficacy components”; “The efficacy validation report should be issued by the School of Stomatology or the Institute of Stomatology.” In other words, the safety of toothpaste ingredients must be ensured first. , can say the effectiveness of toothpaste. The standard also stipulates: "Forcibly implemented after 30 months."

However, 30 months have passed and almost all functional toothpastes on the market have not been implemented in accordance with the QB2966 "Effective Toothpaste" standard. Consumers do not know whether the ingredients of the so-called functional toothpaste have been evaluated for safety. Has its claimed efficacy been clinically verified by a dental research institute? Due to lack of supervision, some manufacturers added triclosan to avoid talking and found no trace in the public components. Overweight hide in the efficacy of the toothpaste flicker consumers.

The “Evaluation of toothpaste efficacy” published by the Ministry of Health on December 3rd, 2010 is divided into four parts: General Provisions, Prevention of Sputum, Inhibition of Plaque and Reduction of Gingival Inflammation, and Anti-Dental Sensitiveness. The standard clinical trial requirements state: "At least two independent clinical trials should be carried out for the first time when a product containing an active ingredient is to be tested for efficacy;" However, the Ministry of Health has such a high quality standard that no one asks, and no one performs. There is no way to talk about supervision.

I learned from the Internet and the market that there is a "fe bio-dry brush toothpaste" on the packaging and its website that discloses the safety evaluation report and efficacy clinical trial report of the efficacy component. And telephone interviewed the manufacturer of toothpaste, snow leopard daily chemical company, the company's general manager Tong Yu said that toothpaste and oral health are closely related, the country has formulated the national standard and the subject line, as long as the production company seriously implemented, the supervision department as long as the law supervision, The safety issues of toothpaste and other daily chemical products will lead China in the forefront of the world.

Tong Yun also said that if all the functional toothpaste companies can publicize the safety evaluation report and the clinical report of the efficacy, the problem of triclosan carcinogenicity and triclosan exceeding the standard will also be solved. Not only has the consumer's right to know been guaranteed, but the news that "Triclosan is cancerous" cannot be transmitted online.
