DOLLAR STORES-Triggering, but informative

DOLLAR STORES--- BEWARE!!!! READ LABEL!!!!

I don't know if any of you watched NBC News last night, but They did an

investigation on dollar stores (including Dollar Tree). They discovered the

Crest, Colgate and other brand name toothpastes weren't the same as from

Wal-mart, grocery stores etc. The toothpastes were manufactured in many other

countries and are not approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).

There was even some from South Africa and the fluoride is ten times stronger

than what we're allowed in the U.S. (prescription strength). They're allowed

stronger because they don't have fluoridated water (like we do). So if we (or

our kids) use it often and occasionally swallow it, we could be poisoning

ourselves. The dollar stores declined to

comment and a full investigation has begun. So stick to paying full-price at the

grocery store and send this e-mail to anyone who shops at dollar stores. For
