Why Your
Oral Products (Mouthwash, Toothpaste, Chewing Gum, Spray, etc)
May be GIVING you Bad Breath! |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
In order to stop bad breath, you must stop the production
of the volatile sulfur compounds. The only safe and
clinically-proven way to do so is to "oxidize" away the sulfur
compounds and the bacteria that create this problem. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
For several decades the large pharmaceutical companies have made
commercial products that do not oxidize away the Odorous and
Lousy-Tasting Sulfur compounds created by anaerobic bacteria.
Many attempt to "help" the public, but merely rely on "masking
agents" which essentially cover-up the malodor and sour, bitter
tastes produced by the sulfur compounds with other stronger
tastes (some medicinal and minty) and fragrances. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Worse yet, their chemists, in order to keep these "masking"
chemicals in a pretty liquid solution found out that they needed
to add alcohol, otherwise their product became turbid, or
"cloudy" - which would not look nice to the consumers. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Alcohol:
The end result was a "masking chemical" + high levels of
alcohol. Alcohol makes your breath worse. Alcohol, in chemical
terms, is classified as a DESICCANT, or DRYING AGENT. As you
know from information in this website and possibly your own
personal problem, the dryer your mouth gets - the worse your
breath gets. |

Here's how much alcohol (in Percentage and Proof) is contained
in the leading mouthwashes. (Beer, wine, and hard liquor
have been added as a comparison): |

You may also ask yourself, "If those common products kill the
germs that cause bad breath (like they say they do), then why do
I still have bad breath?" |

Ingredients in Oral Products |
|
| |
Here are some other "strange" ingredients added to mouthwash
and other oral products! |
|
| |
Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate: Stop Your Washing Your Mouth With Soap! |
|
| |
Unfortunately, the public is unaware of the ingredients in
products they use on a daily basis. For instance, nearly every
toothpaste contains an ingredient that has been proven to dry
out your mouth, and is now scientifically linked to canker
sores. It's called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), and is placed
into toothpaste (and some mouthwashes) in order to create
foaming! (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also the main ingredient in
your shampoo - go check it out.) The harshness of this chemical
has been proven to create microscopic damage to the oral tissue
which lines the inside of your mouth, which then leads to Canker
Sore production. The microscopic damage and "shedding" of vital
oral tissues" provides a protein food source to the bacteria
that create the volatile sulfur compounds of Halitosis
and taste disorders. That's why TheraBreath Oral Products have
never contained Sodium Lauryl Sulfate!
SLS ( sodium lauryl sulfate ) acts just like a detergent. It is
used in the laboratory as a membrane destabilizer and
solubilizer of proteins and lipids. SLS is used in toothpaste to
emulsify (mix) oil and water based ingredients together. In your
toothpaste it creates the foam you get when brushing. Since it
is classified as a soap, you will easily understand, why this
ingredient can cause drying inside the mouth for many
individuals. The dryness is one of several factors that will
lead to bad breath. |

Saccharin:
Would you give Saccharin to your children? Well, you are - when
you provide them with Children's toothpaste from some of the
major companies - take a look at their ingredients.
The only toothpaste, formulated to fight bad breath by oxidation
AND which does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate & Saccharin is
TheraBreath! |
|
| |
|
|

Sodium Chlorate:
This is a chemical that is NOT an oxygenating compound. It
sounds like a chemical used in oxygenating products, but in
order for it to even start to produce oxygenation, the pH of the
solution would need to have a pH of -1 (that's right -1!).
Historically, scientific papers refer to many cases of
accidental Sodium Chlorate Poisoning. Consequently, oral
products containing chlorates were taken off the market in the
UK over 60 years ago! (A bibliography of scientific papers on
Sodium Chlorate). |
|
| |
|
|

Benzalkonium Chloride:
Benzalkonium Chloride had been used for many years as a
preservative in eye drops and also in nasal sprays and drops.
Recently, researchers in Europe discovered that this
preservative was causing a great deal of allergic reaction among
users. It is now estimated that fully 10% of the population is
allergic to Benzalkonium Chloride.
Other studies have shown a direct relationship between BKC and
contact dermatitis, another allergic reaction.
Based on these facts, pharmaceutical companies have started to
produce eye and nasal drops WITHOUT BKC in order to provide
better products to the public. |
