Most of 51 brands tested, including those for children, contained dangerous heavy metal

Tests here:

Your best bets for fluoridated toothpastes are probably sensodyne, unless you can find these more obscure brands.

I hope they continue to test more adult pastes!

    Depends on which snopes page you look at.

    While it’s entirely possible that some toothpaste brands contain lead, I’ll wait until an independent test laboratory confirms this before I worry about it.

      I would say it’s not a stretch to bet that Crest and Colgate are at the forefront of issues…
