If you're worried about toothpaste causing cancer, why not try the old-fashion paste - baking soda and water mixed. Some people also added salt to the mixture.

well not brushing can lead to heart disease. and everything can cause cancer. try using a natural toothpaste like toms of maine if you are real concerned. at least then you can still keep your teeth in good shape

So far as I know, the only famous person to ever suggest this has been A.J Foyt. While I might seek information or opinions about automobiles and related products from Mr. Foyt, I would not go to him for advice about toothpaste.

Yes its true so does using deordant (sp?) you should use the all natural toothpaste like Tom's and use natural deordant as well.
I have done research when I heard about this thinking people were just crazy but it is actually true

ok, if you wanna get picky- everything causes cancer eventually. Diet sodas, makeup, smoking, tanning.... It is easy to not smoke. It is easy to stay out of the sun. But please, don't stop brushing your teeth just to avoid cancer. You will be fine. =D

I have never heard this, and my dentist advises to brush at least once a day.

Don't believe all you hear and half of what you see. I never heard of that. I would reseach it or ask the dentist.
