avoiding cankers


After yoga this morning I treated myself to lunch at Whole Foods, and went ahead and grabbed a few groceries while I was there. I was so excited when I found Tom's of Maine new toothpaste. Because I get canker sores occasionally, due to stress or accidentally biting the inside of my cheek, I had been using a Rembrandt toothpaste that did not have SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate, which basically makes all sorts of things, including soap and toothpaste, fizz) in it. When Rembrandt was purchased by Johnson & Johnson a couple of years ago, they dropped the SLS-free product, unfortunately. The SLS-free toothpaste doesn't stop the canker sores, but I certainly get fewer of them, so am so happy to see this new toothpaste!
