Ghent, NY (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Secure® Denture Adhesive users experience an improved quality of life with Secure’s® extraordinary 12-hour holding power and natural feel. To highlight these wonderful benefits, as well as raise awareness that denture wearers can improve the way their dentures hold, Secure® Denture initiated its exciting “Secure® Denture Venture – An Artistic Rendition” for a chance to be Youtube.com star and win $1,000.

After evaluating each unique and entertaining video received Bioforce USA has chosen Jai Catalano as the winner. His award winning video can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/user/SecureDentureVenture?feature=mhee . Pierce Sioussat, President of Bioforce USA, distributor of Secure®, stated: “Since introducing Secure®, we have found that many denture wearers are reluctant to talk about what its like wearing dentures, perhaps feeling a certain embarrassment. It also seems that in our industry it is believed that people who shop in health food stores don’t wear dentures. We had hoped to start changing this by bringing denture wearing out in the open in an artistic, humorous way. We feel these entertaining videos have accomplished this, and we want to thank each one of the talented videographers who submitted an entry.”

Secure’s® patented waterproof adhesive provides a completely new and natural denture feeling. Because Secure® is waterproof, it doesn’t dissolve when eating or drinking. Foods can be enjoyed again, including dining out, without worry or embarrassment. Plus, Secure’s® neutral taste does not negatively affect how foods taste.

Poligrip Denture Adhesive Powder Ingredients « Zinc Free Denture ...

. The only other mention of issues is with inhaled powders. Since I don’t think anyone is interested in snorting their denture adhesives, I dismissed that as a concern. So I happily chalked this up as a very benign ingredient and moved on.

Poly(methylvinylether/maleic acid) sodium-calcium mixed partial salt: I have actually had some difficulty trying to hunt down information on this ingredient. I found several variants of the name, each of which seemed to possess different properties. According to Good Guide , Poly (methylvinylether/Maleic Acid) does not raise any red flags because it has not been found in human tissue or urine. And the makers of Poligrip branded products clearly believe it’s a safe ingredient to use, as you’ll find it’s listed in every one of their denture adhesives except for their Comfort Seal Strips .

Me? I’m not quite as convinced. For one thing, maleic acid, when viewed as a separate entity, has been shown to be toxic to the kidneys. Furthermore, if the compound in question is, as I suspect, also known as methyl vinyl ether/maleic acid copolymer, then it has an MSDS which states enigmatically “May be harmful if swallowed.” All that said, I couldn’t find any data suggesting that this particular ingredient is actually harmful in the small doses a person would receive when using it as a denture adhesive. As with the cellulose gum above, even the information I found about toxicity (like the maleic acid alone, which I should stress this denture powder does not have ) all indicated that you’d have to consume massive amounts in order to poison yourself.
