They are: Lust , Gluttony , Greed , Sloth , Wrath , Envy , and Pride .

So, what’s the real difference between fluoridated and non-fluoridated toothpaste, and why should you stick with fluoride? Let’s break it down. What Is Fluoride, and Why Does It Matter? Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, soil, and even some foods. In toothpaste, it’s a superhero for your teeth. It strengthens enamel—the hard outer layer of your teeth—making it more resistant to acid attacks from sugary snacks or bacteria. Non-fluoridated toothpastes skip this ingredient, often replacing it with alternatives like charcoal, baking soda, or herbal extracts. While these sound appealing, they lack fluoride’s proven ability to fight cavities. The A...
