Important Health News Update: May 2013
The FDA releases further data on Triclosan, a common ingredient in many household items labeled "antibacterial." Our office alerts you to this fact since there are TOOTHPASTES that contain this ingredient. Please read the following press releases by the FDA (ongoing since 2010) and affliate news sources to determine how this review affects products you may use daily.

In addition, Wrigley has removed their ALERT chewing gum which contained caffeine from store shelves "out of respect for the FDA" who is investigating the danger of food and drinks with caffeine. The gum contained the caffeine equivalent of 1/2 cup of coffee in each stick! Check your children's pockets.....
