Hai friends this is friend of yours ….,,,
I have seen a news
in internet..,,,,,,
Titles is Beware!
Your favourite toothpaste could be laced with cancer-causing nicotine. …..,,
A study by the Delhi Institute of
Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research (DIPSAR) has found that many of the
toothpaste manufacturers are adulterating toothpastes and toothpowders with
high quantity of nicotine..
"Out of the 24 brands of toothpastes
studied in 2011, seven brands - Colgate Herbal, Himalaya, Neem paste, Neem
Tulsi, RA Thermoseal, Sensoform and Stoline - were found to contain
nicotine," said Professor S. S. Agarwal of DIPSAR, which is affiliated to
the Delhi University and is funded by the Delhi government.
"Colgate
Herbal and Neem Tulsi, also a herbal product, surprisingly had 18 and 10 mg of
nicotine, which is equivalent to the quantity found in nine and five cigarettes
respectively," Prof Agarwal added.
"Out of the ten brands of
toothpowders examined, six - Dabur Red, Vicco, Musaka Gul, Payokil, Unadent and
Alka Dantmanjan - were found to contain nicotine. Payokil was found to have the
highest 16 mg of tobacco, which is equivalent of what a person consumes after
smoking eight cigarettes," he said.
"Vicco
was found to have used tobacco consecutively for three years in its
toothpowder, while Dabur Red resumed mixing tobacco in 2011 after stopping it
in 2008,"Prof Agarwal said.
The results showed that nicotine
was not detected. In polyherbals, many phytochemicals are present which can
best be estimated by LCMS, hence we follow this sophisticated procedure."Asked
for comments, a Dabur India spokesman said, "We would not be able to
comment unless we see the study and the methodology used." Prof
Agarwal stood by his findings. He said these companies "are lying just to
safeguard their interests." He said he is ready to provide the companies
with details of the methodology used.
"Nicotine
in toothpastes can have the same ill effects as that in tobacco products like
cigarettes and paan products. The nicotine is absorbed by the tongue and saliva
in the mouth. It can lead to staining of teeth too and damage the whole
enamel," warned Dr Rakesh Malhotra, senior dental surgeon, Centre for
Advanced Dentistry. Toothpaste that contains nicotine can be as addictive as
other nicotine products, he added. Nicotine can be absorbed by the lips,
tongue, the floor of the mouth, the top roof of the mouth, cheeks and the gums
leading to problems like oral inflammation and cancer.
"Oral
ingestion of nicotine can lead to oral cancer and cancer causing agents can
also get into the lining of the stomach, esophagus and into the bladder,"
Dr Malhotra said. Other side- effects of nicotine consumption include drooling.
Children are particularly impacted by this, and may even report a burning
sensation in the mouth.
