Scary but true

If you didn't already know this, toothpaste contains an abrasive known as hydrated silica. So you are basically brushing your teeth with glass. How attractive does that sound? It's also the same thing as those silica packets in things like vitamins that say "Do not Ingest" and "If swallowed call poison control." I see that I'm going to have to find something else to brush my teeth with. I'm not too thrilled about glass.
