I couldn't find the original article that I read a few years back but this website explains the theory well enough. We should all be brushing our teeth with something.. even bar soap that does not contain glycerine, flouride or artificial flavors/colors/ingredients etc. There are quite a few natural soaps without glycerine. The glycerine retards the reenameling of the teeth.http://100777.com/health/teethcare
I haven't used commercial toothpastes in years. I use baking soda or miracle soap or Tooth Chips from Rose of Sharon Acres... Their website has some good information also. http://roseofsharonacres.com/tooth_chips___soap_for_teeth?gclid=CNWBjLzBlboCFU1k7AodL38AYQ Lola H. On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 12:11 AM, A.
