Now this never really bothered me in the past but on hindsight I stick this thing in my mouth just like food so it would be good to know what its composed of. What really got me though is seeing toothbrushes that say whitening or antimicrobial which begs the question. Why is this whitening or antimicrobial? What the heck is in it that is doing this action??? Now that I think of it this might be more than mildly infuriating.
yeah I get that but I sorta want to know what or why so that I can decide if im comfortable with whatever they are using. I mean its not like Im sure the fda or usda or such is filled with knowledgeable experts who are going to make sure things are safe.
The American Dental Association is probably who you’re looking for. The fda and usda don’t regulate toothbrushes in that sense so you’re not really goi g to get a legally required disclosure like you do with say tooth paste. The ADA will have a seal or mark they put on products they deem safe via testing.

I mean the FDA and such would have to be properly funded to be able to trust any ol’ product… Trump is turning them in to pay to win schemes instead of actual regulators.
And the bribe is so cheap compared to what the company would had to pay
Examples:
Boeing, just needed to donate $1 mil and let the CEO travel with an idiot to help the Qatari royal family dump their white elephant that was actually a money pit
Nvidia, just needed to book a $1 mil dinner at mar a Lago to lift their export ban and start printing billions
All the crypto bros,
And so on
It’s basically a no-brainer move, a 1000x return on investment
Let’s be real, they already were pay for play before, now they’re just honest about it. Remind me, how many proven unsafe additives does the US allow into food that have been banned by evey other developed country for decades?
No they’re actually worse now.
No, that’s being underfunded and corrupted. Now they’re literally a pay to win. The destination of the road of corruption is much worse than simply being on the road itself.
Look I’m not saying it isn’t worse now. Everything is obviously worse now.
What I’m saying is that things were already bad before, and we need to look at the root cause because as bad as he is, mango mussolini is just another symptom of the rot that’s been around since long before any of this.
“let’s be real they were already a pay for play…” That directly implies they are not worse now.
If you want to figure out the root of rot that will always be present (as long as there are billions of humans, there WILL be many, many greedy, heartless fucks clawing for power and abusing that power), using language that denies the backslides will always be counterproductive.
