As the addition of triclosan, the "big family", toothpaste is the first to be blamed, and Colgate's effectiveness and Crest's partial toothpaste are all referred to as triclosan. Following the fluorescent whitening agent incident, triclosan once again introduced daily chemical products into the controversy. Please pay attention--
The chemical name “Ticlosine†is still unfamiliar to most Chinese consumers. In fact, the foreign debate about triclosan has already appeared. As early as in 2005, there was news about the safety of triclosan toothpaste.
Triclosan is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent widely used in daily necessities such as toothpaste, soap, deodorants, mouthwashes, and shaving creams.
On August 31, the reporter visited several supermarkets in Beijing, including RT-Mart, Carrefour, and Jingkelong. They carefully examined the brands of Colgate, Crest, and other toothpastes that were exposed to triclosan in 2005 and discovered the ingredients of various types of toothpaste. The word "triclosan" does not appear in the description.
However, in the ingredient descriptions of Liuzhizhi super full-effect, Chinese full-effect + acupuncture, Chinese full-effect + bright white, Yunnan Baiyao Jinkoujian, Kangdeli Ling 3 excellent times toothpaste and Tianqi a premium toothpaste, The reporter saw the name of triclosan. In addition, the reporter also found that the composition of Yu Meijing's children's milk soap also contained triclosan, while the Kaimei hand sanitizer indicated that it contained “trichlorohydroxydiphenyl etherâ€, which was actually triclosan.
Regarding the news that triclosan in toothpaste can cause cancer, although some customers have heard of this, most consumers expressly do not know it. “There are so many exquisite choices for toothpaste? It's OK to clean it.†Citizens who have purchased toothpaste at Carrefour have expressed that they do not know exactly what triclosan is and they have not noticed the specific composition of toothpaste.
The indirect production of carcinogenic substances by triclosan The quarrel over triclosan has largely come from the experiments of a teacher at the Virginia Tech University. April 15, 2004, The Evening Standard, UK, according to Dr. Virginia University of Technology. According to Peter Vikesland's research, when triclosan-containing products react with chlorine-containing tap water, they form a substance called "Gorofin," that is, chloroform. It is colorless, volatile, and has been used as an anesthetic, but animal studies have found that this substance will cause damage to the heart and liver, with mild teratogenicity, can induce the occurrence of liver cancer in mice, but no human carcinogenesis data. To be on the safe side, both the International Cancer Research Center and the United States have classified chloroform as a suspected carcinogen to the human body.
“It was precisely because of this research that at the time of 2005, there was a domestic and international debate over the 'carcinogenicity of triclosan'.†Ma Yi, Secretary General of the China Daily Sundries Industry Association, said that since then, the old matter has been raised again because the United States has recently The Food and Drug Administration also gave an update on the safety of triclosan.
In the latest research, scientists have found through experiments with sheep that triclosan interferes with an enzyme that is essential for the circulation of estrogen in the uterus. This estrogen can open the arteries and send aerobic blood to the placenta. However, a spokesman for a cosmetics association in the United Kingdom stated that the experimental results on sheep do not represent human application. He also stated that so far, years of experiments have proved that it is safe for humans.
According to reports, according to EU regulations, the highest level of triclosan in hygiene products is less than 0.3%, which is safe.
Triclosan is not irreplaceable. If triclosan is removed from toothpaste, will the antibacterial effect of toothpaste be weakened? Is it an irreplaceable product?
It is understood that the main role of triclosan is antibacterial, but there are many other substances that can replace triclosan, so triclosan is not a non-plus additive. For example, toothpastes of some traditional Chinese medicine brands use Chinese herbs for antibacterial use. For example, Caoaoshan toothpaste contains isoprazinopyridine and organic acids, which can be used to inhibit plaque and achieve antibacterial effects.
"Public use of toothpaste must be clear, toothpaste only has a certain auxiliary effect, do not contain too much hope." Han Yongcheng, director of Oral Mouth Prevention in Beijing, reminded that do not superstition "medicinal" toothpaste, according to their own The actual condition of the tooth to choose toothpaste.
"The most important components of toothpaste are friction agents, foaming agents, and lubricants. Second, it is vitamins, minerals, drugs and other additives." Han Yongcheng believes that some herbal toothpastes on the market are indeed anti-inflammatory and hemostatic. A certain role, but if it is healthy teeth and healthy oral environment, there is no need to choose these "medical toothpaste", usually just pay attention to oral hygiene, choose fluoride-containing health toothpaste on it. "Even if you choose fluoride toothpaste, you should be aware that areas with low levels of fluoride can be used with confidence, and regions with high levels of fluoride should not be used again. Otherwise, they will not achieve the desired effect."
"If there is a problem with teeth, such as bleeding gums, we must first understand why the bleeding, rather than the blind use of 'medicinal' toothpaste." Han Yongcheng suggested that once suffering from dental disease, we must first consult an oral surgeon to find out that it is teeth The periodontal inflammation caused by stones, or blood disease, or other problems, and then "prescription for the right medicine."
The content of triclosan in toothpaste must not exceed 0.3%
Is triclosan really so terrible? Ma Yi said that the current question about it is still pending. Because experts in the industry have done experiments, the research subjects used triclosan-containing toothpaste and ordinary chlorinated tap water, and brushing time exceeded the expected time of ordinary people, but the chloroform content formed did not reach a measurable range.
According to reports, as early as April 2010, the US Food and Drug Administration announced the start of the evaluation of the safety of triclosan. The researchers found that this bactericidal component may interfere with thyroid hormone function, and even make some bacteria resistant to antibiotics. However, the "sterilization" of his job is not necessarily much better than soap plus water. At the end of 2010, some US Congressmen even urged the United States to include triclosan on the banned list. In addition, in the new toothpaste national standard announced in 2009, triclosan was included in the list of permitted preservatives, but it must not exceed 0.3%.
Compared with the 2001 version of the toothpaste standard, the new national standard for toothpaste that began on February 1, 2009 has been increased and adjusted in many ways. In the new national standard of toothpaste, there are nearly 1,500 ingredients that are prohibited or strictly restricted, including diethylene glycol and triclosan.
The new national standard specifies the fluorine content of adult fluoride toothpaste as 0.04%-0.15%, and stipulates that the fluoride content in children's fluoride toothpaste should be between 0.05% and 0.11%.
Therefore, when people buy toothpaste, besides choosing a brand, they should also pay attention to whether the fluorine content is up to the standard. Members of the public who choose to use a toothpaste containing pharmaceutical ingredients should pay attention to changing the type of toothpaste often to avoid misalignment of the oral flora.
