This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have bad news about the first ingredient, calcium carbonate. ~~It contains lead!~~

Edited for clarity: it is derived from chalk as the toothpaste explains and effectively all chalk on Earth is contaminated with lead as shown in the article below, which uses x-ray fluorescence to confirm the presence of lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic.

In general, you want to avoid the following ingredients in your toothpaste if you are trying to minimize lead exposure:

Bentonite Clay
Hydroxyapatite
Calcium Carbonate
Hydrated Silica
Titanium Dioxide
