Cavities and Gum Disease in Americans Increase at an Alarming Rate; What do Natural Toothpastes Have to Offer

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) February 20, 2007

Zion Health has just released its newly formulated natural toothpaste containing organic mint and montmorillonite clay. ClayBrite helps absorb bacteria trapped in between the teeth and beneath the gums minimizing tooth and gum decay. ClayBrite is now available to consumers nationwide at Whole Foods- San Mateo, Rainbow Grocery-S.F., Vitamin Adventure-S.F., Apple Health Foods- Redwood City, Alameda Natural Grocery- CA., New Leaf- CA., Green Acres- New Jersey, Full of Life- Burbank, Pensacola Health Foods- Florida, Vitamin Express-S.F., and online at http://www.kanwaminerals.com.

The cavity battle is increasing as sugar becomes the main ingredient in commercially packaged foods targeted for children. Unnatural levels of sugar in fruit drinks, cereal, soft drinks and processed foods destroy the teeth and cause gum decay. "Tooth decay affects more than one-fourth of U.S. children aged 2-5 and half of those aged 12-15," states Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, in the Center for Disease Control.

ClayBrite's active ingredient, Montmorillonite, is uniquely structured to absorb bacteria trapped in the gums and in between the teeth. Montmorillonite is a combination of trace minerals derived from desert clay. According to the "Clay Cure" by Ran Knishinsky, "A mineralogist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Robert T. Marin, stated that one gram of this clay has a surface area of 800 square meters. To give this some perspective, that's about ten football fields!" Montmorillonite contains more than 60 trace minerals that are known to have high absorbent properties.

Eddy Urbina, Zion Health Sales Manager, states, "Parents can help their kids develop healthier teeth by reducing sugar intake and using a toothpaste with Montmorillonite. The light brown toothpaste color may be unappealing as consumers are accustomed to white or blue toothpaste. The brown color, however, contains the rich minerals that are actively working to help clean the gums and whiten teeth. We added additional ingredients of organic mint and stevia leaf extract to naturally enhance the flavor and freshen the breath."

ClayBrite is available immediately at select health food stores including Whole Foods- San Mateo, Rainbow Grocery-S.F., Vitamin Adventure-S.F., Apple Health Foods- Redwood City, Alameda Natural Grocery- CA., New Leaf- CA., Green Acres- New Jersey, Full of Life- Burbank, Pensacola Health Foods- Florida, Vitamin Express-S.F., and online at http://www.kanwaminerals.com.
