SLS in toothpaste, is it bad?
Most toothpastes have a chemical component by the name sodium lauryl sulphate. I heard it causes cancer, also it can cause mouth ulcers. Is it a rumour or is it really true? If it is true, then should we always use ayurvedic or herbal toothpastes that are free from sulphate and fluoride?
