“What is visible is also invisible. As above, so below.”

Some GMO products are relatively harmless and sometimes beneficial.

So why is Xylitol in toothpaste?

It’s called making money by marketing to Sheep-Bots who never check out the downsides of the “latest thing.”

As for some of the other things in kids’ toothpaste, I’d label it as corporate child abuse.

It’s rare, but a bezoar can cause a perforation in the digestive tract.
