Toothpaste = Chloroform
Quote:
Dozens of toothpastes sold at supermarkets are at the centre of a cancer alert today. Anti-bacterial cleaning products, including dishwashing liquid and handwash, are also affected.
Researchers have discovered that triclosan, a chemical in the products, can react with water to produce chloroform gas. If inhaled in large enough quantities, chloroform can cause depression, liver problems and, in some cases, cancer.

Re: Toothpaste = Chloroform
Just to clarify the OP, the triclosan can react with chlorinated water to create the gas, which can be cariogenci (cancer forming). Triclosan ihas been used for years.
Perhaps we should all wash our teeth in mineral water?

Re: Toothpaste = Chloroform
The answer is simple.... just stop cleaning your teeth!
Then you can have pretty teeth like this....
