Miami, the Port of Los Angeles and Puerto Rico. And keep it away from your pets!! That stuff tastes good, so if they found it in the trash, they might want to eat it. Notice that none of the companies selling this stuff has offered to give consumers a refund for the tainted toothpaste. We're just supposed to dump it out and eat the cost? Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the affected companies/products? I use Tom's of Maine toothpaste, which I trust, but you never know. I don't want the itchmo home page, but if you have a link *directly* to that list, then I'd like to see it. Otherwise, it's no help - I've already been to itchmo, and didn't find it. Thanks, Joyce |

Joyce Well, I feel a little foolish saying this, but so far it seems to be limited to a few off-brands sold at dollar stores in the south, but I'd be very surprised if that doesn't spread, like the pet food recall. This seems to be a "disagreement" between the manufacturer/Chinese government (maybe?) about whether or not diethylene glycol is harmful or not. Huge problem with this way of thinking, and I may never eat Chinese food again. There's more he http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01646.html -- Joey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh Yes, it is limited off brands. However, the Chinese have _zero_ effective product safety laws. Every once in a while they shoot some guy for being corrupt and skirting the few that there are for bribes. But as you know, there's always someone else waiting to take their place. Talk to a few people from mainland China. The ones I have listened to say you are out of your mind to use or consume any product from the mainland. The pet food and toothpaste is only the tip of the iceburg. |

China after federal health officials said they found Chinese-made toothpaste containing a poison related to a chemical used in anti- freeze in three locations It's not a big risk as you don't swallow much of it - the stuff was much more deadly incorporated into medicinal syrups, as in Panama. I've used baking soda on and off for years. Usually 50% salt and 50% bicarbonate by volume. But for preference I've been using Siwak-F toothpaste for the last four years or so. This is mainly available through Islamic supplies outlets - the active ingredient is miswak, a kind of astringent chewing stick which is recommended in a saying of the Prophet Mohammed and used throughout the Muslim world. It seems to suit my gums; I don't have enough good teeth left to chew the stick itself. But it's made in Indonesia which is geographically a bit worrying. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |
