"Treatment of gum disease", "prevention and treatment of Helicobacter pylori", "anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hemostasis" ......Can cure all diseases", have you ever bought a toothpaste?The reporter visited and found that there are still many varieties of toothpaste on the market that are illegally labeled with medical effects. (January 1, Golden Sheep Network).

For toothpaste, many consumers have this feeling: there are more and more "assassins" of toothpaste, more and more expensive, and the function and taste are frequently updated every once in a while. "Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hemostasis", "promote tooth growth in young children", "repair tooth cavities", "close the gap between teeth", "stabilize loose teeth", "let teeth regenerate", "* Helicobacter pylori" and other expressions are varied and endless, which makes people picky.

But in fact, most of the so-called medical effects of these toothpastes are "pseudoscience", and there is a big question mark in terms of product safety. Take the toothpaste products that claim to be able to ** Helicobacter pylori, many experts have long pointed out that there is no evidence that this kind of toothpaste can have an effect on Helicobacter pylori in the human stomach. Those products on the market under the banner of high-tech and high value-added are likely to have broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agents added. Long-term use not only does not have the best effect, but will mislead consumers and affect their oral health.

Scientific common sense must return, and marketing "moisture" must be squeezed dry. It is worth noting that on December 1 last year, the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Toothpaste" issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation was officially implemented. It clearly requires that the efficacy claim of toothpaste should have a sufficient scientific basis, and the label of toothpaste is prohibited from labeling "content that explicitly or implicitly has a medical effect" and "false or misleading content". This also means that the institutional level has begun to lay out a plan for the toothpaste assassins who exaggerate their efficacy.

After all, toothpaste is a product that is put in the mouth, and it should not be ignored. For the products on the market that are wantonly advertised for their functional effectiveness, they must be strictly supervised, and the treatment of what should be handled and the removal of those that should be removed from the shelves must not continue to make consumers pay for these useless gimmicks.
