How radioactive?
[edit]Did this toothpaste actually contain a significant amount of thorium? Enough to make brushing your teeth with it risky? Or even swallowing? --Maxus96 (talk) 19:12, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- "A gamma spectroscopy analysis did reveal trace quantities of thorium, but the levels are too low to be detected with a simple hand-held survey meter." [[1]]
- "Naturally occurring thorium has a half-life of 14 billion years and emits 4-MeV alpha particles—a very mild activity." [[2]]
- There are no reported cases of Doramad causing oral cancer. Likely, the radioactive dose was so low, it did no harm because it did nothing at all, besides successfully jumping on the radiation health care bandwagon that was sweeping the globe at the time.
