San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 20, 2007 -- Z Health has just released its latest breakthrough in Natural Toothpaste containing Montmorillonite. ClayBrite helps absorb bacteria trapped in between the teeth and gums minimizing tooth and gum decay by up to 90 percent. ClayBrite is now available to consumers nationwide at various Whole Food stores, Rainbow Grocery, www.kanwaminerals.com and select mass retailers.

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!" This gives Montmorillonite great capacity to absorb unwanted bacteria in the mouth.

Haim Zion, president of Z Health, states, "Parents can help their kids develop healthier teeth by reducing sugar intake in half and using toothpaste with Montmorillonite."

ClayBrite also appears to have a healing effect on the gums. Dental Surgeon, Mary Garcia D.D.S. noticed a complete recovery on patients with early stage gum disease when brushing with ClayBrite once daily for a period of six weeks.

Not all Montmorillonite is the same. Z Health uses the same Montmorillonite sold to astronauts for its unique ingredient in ClayBrite. Its combination of essential trace minerals is the choice mineral supplement for astronauts in the NASA space program. Z Health also offers pure Montmorillonite for Nutritional Supplementation and Internal Cleansing.

ClayBrite is available immediately at various Whole Food Stores, Rainbow Grocery and www.kanwaminerals.com -- and will be in select mass retailers nationwide by the third quarter of 2007."
