Denture Cream Dangers Scientifically Verified

Research teams from the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center compiled information from several medical and academic sources regarding the effects of excess levels of zinc such as that used in popular denture cream products such as Poligrip and Fixodent. Among the experts contributing to the study were physicians from the highly respected Mayo Clinic. Findings were published in the Journal Neurology and indicated that zinc levels in these denture cream products can pose serious health threats, even leading to a condition known as hypocupremia mental retardation often accompanied by debilitating physical symptoms. Excess zinc also led to seriously diminished amounts of copper a mineral that affects many important enzymes in the body that regulate (among other things) energy, the immune response and age-related deterioration. Copper also impacts resistance to allergies and helps control inflammation. Zinc provides Poligrip and Fixodent denture creams with adhesive qualities.

This study of zinc overdose reached the following conclusion: Denture cream contains zinc, and chronic excessive use may result in ... copper deficiency and profound neurological disease. While stopping the use of denture cream with zinc results in improvement of zinc levels in the blood of most patients, this improvement resulted in only mild neurological improvement in half the patients studied. Some patients saw improvement when given copper supplements in addition to ceasing to use denture creams Poligrip or Fixodent.
