Fluoride-Free Toothpaste

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

365 Whole Foods Market Fluoride-Free Toothpaste scores 42/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

365 Whole Foods Market Fluoride-Free Toothpaste lists 18 ingredients, starting with Calcium Carbonate, Water, Xylitol, Hydrated Silica and Zinc Citrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 42/100 365 Whole Foods Market Fluoride-Free Toothpaste lands mid-scale — below the typical score in toothpaste, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Dr. Bronner's Toothpaste Whitening Spearmint 70% Organic at 90/100.
