Your toothpaste is poisoning you (Nobel Prize winner reveals shocking truth)
Why I threw away my fluoride toothpaste after learning this and the £3 health hack that's reversing ageing (that doctors don't want you to know) ...
Last month, I stumbled across the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.
The guest was Dr. Nathan Bryan, a biochemist who has spent 18 years researching the molecule that won the Nobel Prize in 1998. What he revealed about the toothpaste sitting in your bathroom right now will surprise you.
So, ... Have you been feeling more tired lately? Maybe your gums bleed when you brush? Or perhaps you've noticed your energy isn't what it used to be?
What if I told you that these seemingly unrelated issues might all trace back to the same source—something you use twice a day without thinking about it?
The Molecule That Changes Everything
In 1992, scientists named nitric oxide "Molecule of the Year." Six years later, three researchers won the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work on how this tiny molecule impacts human health.
Dr. Bryan describes nitric oxide as "a signalling molecule in the human body which regulates things like blood flow and oxygen delivery." But that's not all.
Unbeknownst to me, this remarkable molecule is involved in virtually every system in your body:
•Cardiovascular health and blood pressure regulation
•Brain function and memory
•Immune system response
•Sleep quality and energy levels
•Even sexual health and performance
And, as with everything (sooo annoying I know …), our body's ability to produce nitric oxide declines dramatically as we age.
Dr. Bryan explains that "the loss of nitric oxide production is linked to age-related chronic diseases such as erectile dysfunction, diabetes, and high blood pressure."
But here's the bit that really surprised me ...
The Shocking Truth About Your Toothpaste
Dr. Bryan doesn't mince words when discussing what's in most commercial toothpastes.
He calls fluoride—yes, the ingredient dentists have been pushing for decades—"a known antiseptic, a chemical toxicant, a thyroid toxin that kills your thyroid, and a neurological toxin."
The very ingredient we've been told protects our teeth is actually:
•Functioning as a chemical toxicant in your body
•Damaging your thyroid gland
•Acting as a neurological toxin
•Destroying the beneficial bacteria your body desperately needs
But it doesn’t stop there ...
Your Mouth: The Hidden Gateway to Health
Your mouth isn't just for chewing and speaking—it's a crucial component of what scientists refer to as the "enterosalivary circuit." This sophisticated system has a direct impact on your cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
How?
When you eat nitrate-rich foods like leafy greens and beets, nearly 100% of those nitrates get absorbed through your gut. Approximately 25% is concentrated in your salivary glands and released into your mouth.
Then, these beneficial bacteria in your mouth convert these nitrates to nitrites, which then become the bioactive nitric oxide your body needs.
But here's the problem: Fluoride toothpaste and antibacterial mouthwashes are systematically destroying these good bacteria.
Dr. Mark Burhenne, a leading dentist and oral health expert, puts it bluntly: "Without a healthy balance of bacteria in the mouth, your body will not be able to produce enough nitric oxide."
Consider this sobering statistic:
60% of us use antibacterial mouthwash, unknowingly sabotaging our body's ability to produce this life-sustaining molecule. We are all guilty. Who hasn’t taken a quick swig of mouthwash whilst in a rush or without access to a toothbrush? Funnily enough, I stopped doing this when I first got sober, but for different reasons - the alcohol content in so many mouthwashes. Yep, some addicts will go to extraordinary lengths to get that ‘hit’.
The Revolutionary Solution That's Changing Everything
BUT,
Dr. Bryan didn't just identify the problem—he solved it.
He developed the world's first nitric oxide-boosting toothpaste, and the results are nothing short of remarkable.
Unlike conventional toothpastes that destroy your oral microbiome, this revolutionary formula is specifically designed to support and nurture the beneficial bacteria your body needs for optimal nitric oxide production.
The results speak for themselves:
•4.8 out of 5 stars from over 1,000 users
•Dramatic improvements in gum health within weeks
•Users reporting increased energy levels they hadn't felt in years
•Better sleep quality and enhanced cardiovascular function
•Natural enamel strengthening without toxic fluoride
What Users Are Experiencing
The testimonials read like sales pitches, but they're genuinely grounded in solid science.
Sarah from California writes: "I've struggled with bleeding gums for years. Within three weeks of switching, the bleeding stopped completely. But what shocked me was the energy boost—I feel like I'm 20 years younger!"
Mark from Texas reports: "My dentist couldn't believe the improvement in my gum health. But honestly, the best part is how much better I sleep and how much more energy I have during the day."
I’m a massive cynic - but these aren't isolated cases. Users consistently report improvements that far exceed their expectations from simply switching to a new toothpaste.
The Science Behind the Change:
What makes nitric oxide toothpaste so effective isn't just what it doesn't contain—it's what it does contain.
Instead of harsh chemicals like fluoride, it uses:
Hydroxyapatite: The same mineral that makes up your tooth enamel, providing natural remineralisation that's superior to fluoride without any health risks.
Potassium Nitrate: A direct precursor to nitric oxide production that works by supporting your body's natural processes.
Zinc Citrate: Provides natural antimicrobial benefits while supporting beneficial bacteria—a perfect example of the balanced approach this toothpaste takes.
Essential Oil Complex: Carefully selected oils, such as peppermint, tea tree, and thyme, provide natural antimicrobial benefits while supporting oral health.
Xylitol: This natural sweetener actively fights harmful bacteria while supporting beneficial bacteria, creating the ideal environment for nitric oxide production.
The Economic Reality
While nitric oxide toothpaste represents a premium investment in your health, consider the alternative.
The average person spends a lot of money annually on dental treatments, many of which could be prevented through proper oral care that supports rather than undermines natural health processes.
More significantly, the systemic health implications of nitric oxide deficiency can lead to expensive medical treatments for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
When you consider that supporting nitric oxide production through proper oral care could help prevent or manage these conditions, the investment makes total sense.
Your Health Revolution Starts Here
I'll be honest with you—when I first heard about this, I was sceptical. Can changing your toothpaste really improve your health???
But what I’m realising is we’ve been approaching oral health completely wrong. Instead of sterilising our mouths, we should be nurturing the beneficial bacteria that keep us healthy. It’s simple but makes sense.
After thoroughly researching this topic, I've completely transformed my oral care routine. I've thrown out every fluoride-containing product from my bathroom and made the switch to nitric oxide-supporting oral care.
The results? I'm sleeping better (for me, that’s still not the optimum 8 hours - oh, in my dreams …), but my gums are healthier, and I have more energy. And honestly, my teeth feel just as clean as they did with a traditional toothpaste.
But more importantly (for me at least), I have peace of mind knowing that I'm helping support my body's natural health processes instead of fighting against them.
