As we all know Sjogrens leads to tooth loss, leads to dentures, so how many years of Zinc are we overloaded with? There is even a class action suit!

SK,
Many products have zinc in them, like toothpastes, not just dental adhesives. We are exposed constantly to substances that are toxic. It's so hard to eliminate them all out of your daily life.
Even the ones that say "natural" watch out for because that word is used loosely.
It's a never ending search for something that is safe to use. I was mixing up my own toothpaste for awhile. I might have to go back to that.

You are so right! For now I'll take my chance with the Biotene, only thing that has ever made a difference with the dry mouth, but who knows what is in there?
Even with the hunts tomato sauce/paste commercial, stating that all other brands use CHEMICALS to remove the skins, while they use steam! Now why should the FDA allow this? So just like all of the grocery store cooking oils that are not expeller pressed, chemicals are used to extract the oil from the vegetable!
How many years can our bodies tolerate this chemical bombardment! NO wonder we are all sick!
As for the zinc, I should never have had a cold as many years as I used it!
This is true, Terri. It's probably an exercise in futility at this point. Sometimes you gotta pick your poison. :') But I don't want to add to my problems either. Some things can turn around, others, well, might be too late.
Hi Terri,
You got it exactly right! Who can you believe these days? It's like a war of advertising, one against another. Everybody's got something to sell. There ARE so many contradictions. You are wise to listen to your body and use your common sense. That's all we can do.
Hugs,
Ally
Hi Terri,
How are you? Have you figured out what is causing your symptoms? Could it be too much pc work. I know the glare burns my eyes and it last for days. I have to back off.
Hugs,
Ally
