A warning has been issued by the Food and Drug Administration regarding the use of toothpaste that hails from China. Consumers were warned starting last Friday to refrain from using such toothpaste because it contains poisonous chemical that is used in antifreeze. The substance that they found out is the diethylene glycol. We all know that antifreeze is only used in cars, specifically in the cooling system, so you can just imagine if humans will ingest this substance.

The FDA has received no report but that they are concerned that people will get sick since they found out that a product in Latin America caused people to get sick as it contains the chemical.

China however is not happy with the advisory, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said that it is unscientific and irresponsible. So consider yourself warned. Be on the safe side, if you have any toothpaste at home that was made from China, dispose of it now.
