Yesterday I heard on TV a news bleep about there being a poisonous ingredient in some toothpaste that seems to be from China. They indicated that if you found your toothpaste was from China to throw it away.

I checked it out on the internet, and the poison was diethylene glycol

That doesn't surprise me. That's the same ingredient that is in Lysol Tub 'n Tile. The product my friend Helen used & she had the pattern of health damage that it would cause

Just because a company says their product is safe, doesn't make it so.

And that goes for Simple Green and lots of other cleaning products. *
