Comment on Toothbrushes don't list what they are made of.

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, that’s being underfunded and corrupted. Now they’re literally a pay to win. The destination of the road to 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.
