Kika, Get your facts right. The FDA did not say "the chemical poses a high-degree of health risks and side effects." What the FDA does say is "we don’t know the significance of those findings to human health". The reason it is banned from soaps is because  "FDA doesn’t have evidence that triclosan in OTC consumer antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water." It hasn't banned it in toothpaste because Colgate was able to demonstrate that the health benefits of the product (it is effective at reducing plaque and gingivitis) outweighed any potential for harm. Having said that I'm not suggesting people should use products with Triclosan, I'm just over sensationalism without actually reading the FDA link supplied.

Snopes comments:

In June 2017, the FDA announced it would be banning the use of triclosan in various products, including Colgate Total.

 In September 2016, the FDA ruled that a host of products could no longer be sold due to their containing triclosan, an antimicrobial agent. 

 Despite containing triclosan, the toothpaste was conspicuously not included in the list of banned products, and continues to be approved by the FDA; the agency made no announcement regarding triclosan or Colgate Total in June 2017.

so, despite containing the toxin, colgate total toothpaste was not banned, although many other products were.  i wonder why?  i smell a rat.

i would still throw away that toothpaste which, happily, i have never used.  nor does my toothpaste contain another poison, flouride.

i think its especially useful to warn people that this product contains a harmful ingredient as it will still be promoted, marketed and used by many people.  but i guess the profits of colgate-parmolive are more important that people's health.

OMG! I have been using Colgate Total for years. These corporations are just as evil.

What Colgate has to say on the issue including why Colgate Total toothpaste has already been approved through the FDA’s NDA process.

Nothing is really "safe" and the alarmists make life even more difficult for others with their neverending pessimism.

Kids swallow toothpaste, so don't let them use colgate, as an adult one should know better than to swallow but rinse thoroughly. 

I'll just have to stop slathering the stuff on my toast!

Do you have teeth Kika -

And many toothpastes also contain SUGAR!
