Is anti-mute toothpaste reliable? Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a chronic infectious pathogen with a high infection rate worldwide, which makes some businesses smell business opportunities. "Anti-secluded toothpaste" has become a "cash cow" for illegal businesses. Is claustrophobic toothpaste reliable?
Is anti-mute toothpaste reliable? 1 Helicobacter pylori has been particularly hot recently. It doesn't matter whether it is hot or not. All kinds of monsters have come out to rub the heat. It is said that there is a toothpaste that can treat Helicobacter pylori infection and prevent and treat gastric cancer. Would you like to have a try?
Still trying? Try it, pay IQ tax. Helicobacter pylori is in the stomach, so you can only brush your teeth with "anti-secluded toothpaste". To say the least, even if this toothpaste really works, do you still want to eat toothpaste?
I know many people are willing to spend this money, but I don't fully believe what the advertisement says. They may just have a try. After all, it is tens of dollars more expensive than ordinary toothpaste. But these businesses just saw the mentality of consumers and played an emotional card: "Who is more expensive, life or toothpaste? Difficult to choose? " "A minor illness does not cure a serious illness, and a small amount of money does not cost a big disaster."
If you play this advertisement, it will poke people's hearts. What a great loss.
The fire of Helicobacter pylori has also reached the secondary market, and stocks with "bacteria" have all gone up. Yesterday, 9 of the 10 concept stocks rose. Today's opening, there are still five concept stocks daily limit. Seeing that the gust is getting bigger and bigger, several companies can't sit still and issue change notices overnight to "put out the fire".
Where does this hot air of Helicobacter pylori come from?
Not only a few days ago, Helicobacter pylori was listed as a definite carcinogen in the 15 carcinogen report released by the US Department of Health and Human Services. The adult infection rate of this pathogen in China exceeds 50%, so everyone talks about "bacteria" discoloration.
Actually, you don't have to be too nervous even if you are infected with Helicobacter pylori. Most people can be treated by taking medicine, and it will be fine after taking medicine for two weeks. Moreover, there is also a view in the medical field that germs do not have to be eradicated, but should be treated according to individual differences. To put it bluntly, if you are sick, you should let the doctor see you. It is not easy for everyone to earn some money. Don't let these unscrupulous businessmen fool you.
Is it reliable to use claustrophobic toothpaste? 2 "Use this toothpaste to improve aphtha and prevent gastric cancer", "Use the national patented anti-HP (Helicobacter pylori) technology" and "patented formula 100% to kill HP and protect the safety of the whole family" ... At present, the so-called "anti-secluded toothpaste" is popular in major e-commerce platforms, and its price is much more expensive than the conventional toothpaste of the same specification.
Xinhua News Agency reporter learned from the State Administration of Medical Supplies that Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach and cannot be prevented or cured by brushing teeth with toothpaste. At present, most of the so-called "anti-claustrophobic toothpaste" sold in the market is under the guise of "patent" and "high technology", and deceives consumers by putting a large number of false advertisements on some online platforms.
Regulatory authorities: "Anti-mute toothpaste" is suspected of falsely claiming efficacy.
Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a chronic infectious pathogen with a high infection rate worldwide, which makes some businesses smell business opportunities.
The customer service of a Taobao shop "assured" the reporter that a certain "anti-secluded toothpaste" in the shop can effectively remove Helicobacter pylori, improve bad breath and aphtha, and prevent and treat gastric cancer.
The reporter found that in Taobao, Tmall, JD.COM, Pinduoduo and other e-commerce platforms and some offline pharmacies, you can see the so-called "anti-secluded toothpaste" with various names and considerable sales. For example, you XX Star, you XX New, Bi X Stop, Jing X Ling, etc. The price of a single tube ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, which is 3 to 10 times the price of conventional toothpaste of the same specification. Online store data shows that many of them have tens of thousands of monthly transactions; Some claim to be named, developed or produced by Sinopharm Group, Revision Pharmaceutical and Southern Medical University.
Is it really as effective as advertising? Ms. Gui Yangguan told the reporter that after being diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori infection, she spent 400 yuan to buy four "Bistin" and "Anti-static Toothpaste" from the Internet. After using it for three months, she found that the number of Helicobacter pylori increased instead of decreasing.
What happened to her is not an isolated case. Yan, an attending physician in the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that there is no scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of Helicobacter pylori colonization in the stomach and brushing teeth with toothpaste. Previously, the "scientific platform for dispelling rumors" sponsored by China Association for Science and Technology and National Health and Wellness Committee also denied that "brushing teeth can cure HP".
Jiang Xuan, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Chang Gung Hospital, Tsinghua, Tsinghua University, said that at present, the treatment of Helicobacter pylori requires the combined use of acid inhibitors, bismuth and antibiotics, and it takes more than half a month to achieve good results.
According to the research of experts organized by the State Administration of Medical Supplies, Helicobacter pylori in oral cavity is mainly concentrated in periodontal pocket and gingival sulcus, which is related to digestive system diseases such as periodontal disease, halitosis and gastric cancer, and there is no scientific basis. Toothpaste claims "anti-Helicobacter pylori" efficacy, which is suspected of falsely claiming efficacy.
Unscrupulous merchants: changing the pattern to "fool" consumers
"Anti-seclusion toothpaste can't bear seclusion" has still become a "cash cow" for illegal businesses. The reporter's investigation found that unscrupulous merchants have a set of "business practices" in deceiving people.
-Create "bacterial anxiety" to scare people. Helicobacter pylori is really harmful to human body. At present, the adult infection rate in China is above 50%. Yan said that Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer, and it is also a high risk factor for gastric cancer. However, unscrupulous merchants hype and exaggerate these dangers, and sell goods for profit by creating a horrible "seclusion" atmosphere.
The reporter searched on the e-commerce platform and WeChat official account, and found that some "anti-quiet toothpaste" used the saying that "a minor illness does not cure a serious illness, and a small sum of money does not cost a big disaster". "Toothpaste and life who is more expensive? Is it difficult to choose? " "90% of bad breath is caused by Helicobacter pylori" and other sensational false propaganda.
-Raise prices under the guise of "high technology". Self-proclaimed "patented formula", "national patented technology" and "patented innovative technology" are common advertising words of "anti-secluded toothpaste". The reporter noticed that the words "National Invention Patent ZL 20141KLOC-0/68022.9", "Invention and Entrepreneurship Award" and "Test Report" were conspicuously marked on the outer packaging of "Youxx Star HP Toothpaste".
In this regard, China National Intellectual Property Administration staff told reporters that the current patent application review is mainly aimed at novelty, creativity and practicality. As for the efficacy of the products produced by using this patent, whether the products promoted by enterprises and businesses are true or not is not within the scope of patent examination.
Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, said that the acquisition of so-called "anti-oral Helicobacter pylori toothpaste" by enterprises does not mean that they must be able to mass-produce anti-oral Helicobacter pylori toothpaste, let alone prove that the toothpaste they produce must have anti-oral Helicobacter pylori efficacy. The "test report" provided by some merchants can only prove that they have studied the oral HP care products, but can't prove that their products have adopted the test results or achieved relevant results after adopting the results.
-the product "changed face" and escaped supervision. The person in charge of the relevant work of the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products said that according to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics implemented in 200211,toothpaste is managed as ordinary cosmetics, and the application for license is "cosmetic name". This means that according to Article 17 of the Advertising Law, the advertisement of toothpaste products shall not involve the function of disease treatment, and shall not use medical terms or terms that easily confuse the advertised products with drugs and medical devices. However, the reporter found that in order to avoid supervision, illegal businesses often label the so-called "anti-secluded toothpaste" as "mechanical name" or "elimination name".
Henan Jingui Herbal Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. told reporters that "claustrophobic toothpaste" can be produced by OEM. On the product photos provided by its salesman, the reporter saw that the official name printed on the packaging box of "anti-mute toothpaste" produced by the company was "You XX Xin Leng Fu Gel". The salesman revealed that in the past, the company used the words "mechanical name" and "gel", but this year it stopped using it. The salesman told the reporter: "If you place an order, the company can help you apply for' Petty bourgeoisie' as soon as possible and write the name' oral bacteriostatic cream'."
-organizing "false advertisements" to fool people. The reporter searched WeChat official account, Xiaohongshu and other platforms and found that in addition to "hard advertisements", there are many videos and articles promoting "anti-toothpaste" in the name of popular science or product experience. Some accounts have also posted live links and videos of famous artists.
Comprehensive management: strengthening supervision and popular science education
Experts generally believe that the availability of "anti-seclusion toothpaste" is directly related to the limited or even wrong understanding of Helicobacter pylori by ordinary people.
Experts from the Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences told reporters that even if the patient is confirmed to be infected with HP, there is no need to be overly nervous. Most people can eradicate bacteria by taking oral drugs within two weeks. There is also a view in the medical field that germs do not necessarily need to be eradicated, and it is recommended that patients and doctors discuss their indications before making a decision.
Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, believes that the market supervision department, the food and drug supervision department and the online information department should form a linkage mechanism, constantly strengthen supervision, and eliminate the blind spot of supervision as much as possible.
The reporter learned that at present, the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products has studied and drafted the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Toothpaste, and is actively pushing the State Administration of Market Supervision to issue the regulations of this department as soon as possible. This regulation will regulate the whole process of toothpaste products from filing, production and operation.
At the same time, the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products will release popular science information in the near future to guide the public to correctly understand the efficacy of toothpaste and dispose of toothpaste products that falsely claim efficacy according to law.
Is claustrophobic toothpaste reliable? 3 "hidden protective cover, national patented product; Prevent gastric cancer and never have bad breath; Pregnant women can use it, medical grade ... "Recently, some unscrupulous merchants speculated that" anti-secluded toothpaste "can kill Helicobacter pylori and prevent gastric cancer, and sold the so-called" anti-secluded toothpaste "on the e-commerce platform.
What is Helicobacter pylori? Why is it called a "ghost" in the stomach? Why can't "anti-secluded toothpaste" prevent Helicobacter pylori infection? How to prevent, detect and treat Helicobacter pylori infection? Medical experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences gave authoritative answers.
What is Helicobacter pylori?
What are the main hazards?
Helicobacter pylori is a kind of micro-aerobic gram-negative bacteria, which is spiral. It can colonize human stomach for a long time, causing chronic inflammation. It can spread through the mouth and faeces.
How harmful is Helicobacter pylori infection? Yan, an attending physician in the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer, and it is also a high-risk factor for gastric cancer.
Yan said that most people infected with Helicobacter pylori have no symptoms and complications, but almost all of them have chronic active gastritis. Among the infected people, about 15% to 20% developed peptic ulcer, 5% to 10% developed dyspepsia, and about 1% developed gastric malignant tumor.
Helicobacter pylori infection is also an important pathogenic factor of gastroduodenal ulcer, which is closely related to gastric cancer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. According to the report of the World Health Organization, the risk of gastric cancer in people infected with Helicobacter pylori can be increased by two to three times, and about 63% of gastric cancer cases in developing countries are related to Helicobacter pylori infection.
In addition, the "fighting power" of Helicobacter pylori is also very strong. In addition to gastric mucosa, human saliva, dental plaque and feces also have the "figure" of Helicobacter pylori.
Why is it "claustrophobic toothpaste"
Can't prevent helicobacter pylori infection?
"Helicobacter pylori colonization in the stomach" is the scientific feature of this bacterium, so there is no scientific basis for preventing or treating Helicobacter pylori infection by brushing teeth with toothpaste. China Association for Science and Technology and other departments sponsored the "scientific rumor platform" published an article "Can Helicobacter pylori toothpaste kill HP? I think it's a little beautiful. "Popular science rumors. Based on this scientific understanding of Helicobacter pylori, we can easily identify the false propaganda of "anti-secluded toothpaste".
Illegal businesses often use consumers' fear of gastric cancer to promote products with false efficacy propaganda. Article 17 of the Advertising Law stipulates that, except advertisements for medical treatment, drugs and medical devices, any other advertisements are prohibited from involving the function of disease treatment, and medical terms or terms that easily confuse the advertised goods with drugs and medical devices are not allowed.
In order to avoid supervision, some "anti-exposure toothpaste" packages are written with "machine name" and "elimination name", and batch number advertisements are printed. In fact, "eliminating characters" refers to the sanitary batch number approved by the local health department, which has no curative effect and belongs to the category of sanitary disinfection; "Device name" refers to the filing name of medical devices. Machine name products are low-risk medical devices, and the implementation of national routine management can ensure their safety and effectiveness. Toothpaste is generally a "cosmetic name". These batch numbers do not prove that toothpaste itself has the efficacy of preventing and treating Helicobacter pylori infection.
How to prevent, detect and treat
Helicobacter pylori infection?
Experts say that the high infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in China may be related to eating habits.
Tableware disinfection, public chopsticks system and separate meals system are the most effective means to prevent Helicobacter pylori infection. It is not uncommon for one person to get sick and the whole family to be infected with Helicobacter pylori in China. The main reason is that the family dining system makes Helicobacter pylori spread through saliva, and eating with chopsticks will also increase the risk of infection of diners, especially children and the elderly.
In addition, the occurrence and development of diseases are also related to many other factors, such as eating habits, living habits, genetic factors and so on.
Experts from the Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences suggested that if you want to test whether you are infected with Helicobacter pylori, you should do a stool Helicobacter pylori antigen test in a regular hospital, and then do a C- 13 urea breath test. If gastroscopy is performed, rapid urease detection can be used to detect whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection and observe whether there are gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer.
Experts say that even if the infection is confirmed, patients do not need to be overly nervous. Most people can eradicate bacteria by taking oral drugs within two weeks. Li Jing, an attending physician in the Department of Health Medicine of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, suggested that people with stomach problems must be sterilized.
Commonly used quadruple therapy, that is, taking two antibiotics combined with bismuth and acid inhibitors for about two weeks. Li Jing reminded that there must be evidence of current infection before deciding on treatment. There is also a view in the medical field that Helicobacter pylori does not necessarily need to be eradicated, and it is recommended that patients and doctors discuss their indications before making a decision.
Experts generally believe that the availability of "anti-seclusion toothpaste" is directly related to the limited or even wrong understanding of Helicobacter pylori by ordinary people.
It is reported that the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products will release popular science information in the near future to guide the public to correctly understand the efficacy of toothpaste and dispose of toothpaste products that falsely claim efficacy according to law.
