When we talk about how to limit contact with the plastic, if not eliminate it from our lives, the issue of oral health at the moment it is hardly comes to mind. We think of plastic bottles of water and food in plastic containers. But the danger to the health of a lot of plastic in the ordinary dental floss .
Once upon a time dental floss made of ordinary thread unwaxed. That was a key ingredient in the wax, as he helped the thread slide between teeth more freely. It is especially important to those people who have given the space is quite tight. But there was plastic, stagger the imagination for its versatility and low cost. And today is very high probability that you have dental floss in the bathroom are not covered with wax, and perfluorinated polymers m (TFG).
The same coating pan available and is known under the name Teflon. It does not burn the food during cooking. PFP is contained in the coating of some packages for fast food. The main problem associated with this material, in that a thread, it is not particularly kept. When the friction between teeth exfoliate and TFG moves goes straight into our bodies.
Perfluorinated polymers not only carcinogenic, which threatens the development of oncological diseases. They also harm the immune system and negatively affect hormone levels. Of course, the amount of the TFG, which we receive after using dental floss, it is still negligible, and is unlikely to pose a health hazard. But these materials unfortunately have properties to "stick" to the organism and accumulate. And if you long enough to use "plastic" thread, that is, after all, can end sadly.
