News flash about tooth paste....I don't know who tuned into channel 5 news but channel 5 done an investigation on stores like Dollar tree,greenbacks,and the 99 cent stores.....They found that toothpaste such as "crest" "colgate" and other leading brands that is sold in dollar stores is not the same as you buy at your local grocery or at walmart.....The toothpaste in manufactured in many countries such as south Afrcia and is not approved by the ADA, American Dental Association......They have found that the fluoride is 10 times stronger than is allowed in th US....(percription strength) They are allowed to have it stronger because in those countries they do not have fluridated water like we do in the States......If our children on Occasion swallow it,we could be poisoning our children as well as ourselfs....Channel 5 has tried contacting the Dollar Tree,and other dollar stores and they refuse to comment....

I am trusting my life to the Singapore government. I believe they will keep a check on such things. Well, I simply don't have the facility back home to do chemical tests on pastes. :P
