ECOsmarte blog

Triclosan is also a commonly used antibacterial in brand toothpaste, hence probably the most frequent source of exposure.

Thanks, Roger - I had no idea! Now I am going to be running around reading all my labels again...which I should have been doing all along.

Great read. We are exposed to so much that we are unaware of. I use low pH water for my face and hands in place of "soap" since finding water ionization.

What have you heard regarding ionized water. Experts suggest that the low pH of ionized water would disinfect as good as or better than common disinfectants. And obviously would not have the "extra" additives like Triclosan.

I recycle like crazy!

Owen,
Glad you enjoyed the read.
I think by low pH water you are referencing the by-product of the ionized water machines that can set the pH. As I understand it, the low pH water (3.5 - 5.5) is good for first aid sterilization, insect bites, skin care and brushing teeth, and very anti-bacterial. Yes, low pH water would certainly be a healthier alternative to Triclosan!
So I assume you are drinking the high pH water and using the low pH water externally?
Check the article in this blog about the ionized water machines, if you have not found it already:
"Structured Micro Water Devices-- a different type of Ionization"

ECOsmarte water systems don't specifically create very high or low pH water, even though our water is definitely a higher pH than reverse osmosis because we leave the minerals in. We put just enough copper in to change the structure of the minerals to solve the hard water problems, and the copper is a disinfecting agent to preserve the purity of the water up to your point of use. Using an ECOsmarte system as a pre-filter for these high and low pH water machines can lengthen their life by preventing hard water scaling - this we know from customer feedback.
I find it wonderful and fascinating that the solution is water - not chemicals - just water!
