Today’s newsletter is about brain health—two must-read topics you won’t want to miss.
#1: Good news from a regulatory standpoint, as the SCCS has ruled in favor of nanohydroxyapatite, the superior replacement to fluoride toothpaste.
#2: I was interviewed on Dr. Perlmutter’s podcast. What could a dentist and a neurologist have to talk about? Turns out, PLENTY. Listen to the episode here.
The SCCS has ruled in favor of nanohydroxyapatite!
Great news for those who use nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste and prefer to avoid fluoride! The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has released its final opinion on the safety of nanohydroxyapatite in cosmetic products, including toothpaste.
The SCCS concludes that the use of nanohydroxyapatite in cosmetic products at a concentration of up to 10% is safe for human use.
The SCCS found no evidence of genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, or reproductive toxicity associated with nanohydroxyapatite. This final opinion is the result of a comprehensive evaluation of available scientific data, including toxicological, physico-chemical, and environmental information.
Nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste has gained popularity as a fluoride-free alternative to traditional toothpaste. It works by remineralizing and repairing tooth enamel, as well as reducing sensitivity and whitening your teeth.
With this positive safety assessment by the SCCS, nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste users can continue to enjoy the benefits of this alternative toothpaste without worry.
The SCCS final opinion is great news for those who use nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste as it confirms the safety of this alternative toothpaste option. This is particularly good news for those who prefer to avoid fluoride in their dental products.
The superiority of nanohydroxyapatite over microhydroxyapatite is crystal clear to me. The nano form of hydroxyapatite has greater uptake and a more potent therapeutic effect. That’s why I unequivocally endorse nanohydroxyapatite based toothpaste over microhydroxyapatite based toothpastes—but with the caveat that I will take a microhydroxyapatite toothpaste OVER fluoride toothpaste any day, every day.
And let’s not forget the pressing issue at hand: the dangers of fluoride toothpaste on the brain, particularly in the developing fetal, child, and teenage brain. It’s time to spread the word that nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste is the perfect substitute that not only delivers better results but is also completely non-toxic to the brain. As a thought leader in this space, I urge everyone to make the switch to nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste and join me in advocating for safer and more effective dental products.
Which manufacturers are making the best form of nano in terms of uptake, efficacy, and safety? Which toothpastes have the safe forms of nanohydroxyapatite and which do not? And which toothpastes contain the 10%, which is important for maximum therapeutic effect? Stay tuned for the answers in an upcoming newsletter.
Who is the SCCS anyway, and why should you care?
The SCCS stands for the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety. It is a committee established by the European Commission, and its role is to provide scientific advice on consumer safety issues, mainly related to cosmetics, personal care products, and their ingredients. The SCCS is composed of independent scientific experts who evaluate the safety of cosmetic ingredients and products and provide opinions on their safety.
You should care about the SCCS’s opinions if you use cosmetic or personal care products, as their recommendations and opinions can impact the safety and regulation of these products. The SCCS’s work is also significant for the cosmetics industry, as their opinions can affect the development and marketing of new products. In summary, the SCCS is an important body responsible for ensuring the safety of cosmetics and personal care products in the European Union.
Why was the SCCS reviewing nanohydroxyapatite?
The SCCS reviewed nanohydroxyapatite to evaluate its safety in cosmetic products, including toothpaste. As a scientific committee, the SCCS regularly reviews cosmetic ingredients to ensure their safety for human use. Nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste has gained popularity as a fluoride-free alternative to traditional toothpaste, and its safety evaluation was necessary to confirm its safety for consumers.
Most people don’t know that toothpaste is actually a cosmetic product. Nano has become a four-letter word, and for good reason, because the nano particles of metal are so small that the body cannot get rid of them. Nanohydroxyapatite, on the other hand, is water-soluable, is not a metal, and it’s a biomimetic material manufactured into a smaller (nano) size. As it turns out, size is not the only consideration—it’s also the shape of the nano particle also determines how the body interacts with it.
P.S. The nanohydroxyapatite I’m using currently is Fygg. Use code ATD15 for 15% off your first order.
