아래 내용을 보면 양치물약 이름이 알려저있는 유명 제조화사들

Johnson & Johnson's, CVS, Walgreen, 들이 허위 선전을 한다고 경고 했네요.

액체 속에 있는 sodium fluoride 가 충치예방에는 도움을 줄지모르나 잇몸 속에 있는

치석 plaque 과 잇몸질환 gum disease 까지 효과 있다는 새빨간 아니 새하얀 거짓말 이라는 내용.  

하얀 거짓말 white lie 뜻 ; 1. falsehood uttered or acted for the purpose of deception,

2. an intentional violation of truth,  3. an untruth spoken with the intention to deceive.

그저 소금으로 이를 닥는게 제일 좋은것,

치약속에 있는 F 불소는 소량이지만  불소가 유리를 녹이는건 아세요?

이 닥고 치약 먹지 마세요.

치과에서 쇠를 녹이는데  위험하고 무서운 수은 많이 사용하지요.

In a warning letter sent to each company, regulators specifically targeted Johnson & Johnson's “Listerine Total Care Anticavity Mouthwash“, CVS's “CVS Complete Care Anticavity Mouthwash“

and Walgreen's “Walgreen Mouth Rinse Full Action.“

“These mouth rinse products contain the active ingredient sodium fluoride. The FDA has determined that sodium fluoride is effective in preventing cavities but has not found this ingredient to be effective in removing plaque or preventing gum disease,“ the agency said in a statement.

“It is important for the FDA to take appropriate enforcement action when companies make false or unproven product claims to ensure that consumers are not misinformed or misled,“ said Deborah Author, director of the Office of Compliance with the FDA.

According to federal law, a company cannot claim its product is effective in treating a disease unless those claims have been reviewed and approved by the FDA.

The agency said it is unaware of any injuries or adverse health effects related to the use of the mouth rinse products.

The FDA has given all three companies 15 days to take “appropriate action“ to correct the violations or else face product seizure or other civil or criminal penalties.
