I have been using a Xylital toothpaste for the past year and my teeth have had very little plaque.
Here it comes, the FDA or the ADA or some such agency is going to find a “good” reason this product should not be used by the public......for their own good.
If that happens (no crystal ball here, just cynical), it will highlight the current model of modern medicine......
...preach prevention (”it’s the patient’s fault), charge for long term treatments that alleviate symptoms (not the underlying causes), STIFLE anything that even comes close to a cure.
Check out the current version of the Hippocratic oath....looks like a model for “health care” as business as opposed to actually curing anything!
Just .02, your mileage may vary....

Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to Keep 32 water, why, there are studies underway to add Keep 32 to salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake. Children's ice cream?
Mandrake: Good Lord.
There is a strong genetic component to tooth enamel susceptibility to cavities. My wife, bless her, is much more aggressive than I in maintaining her oral hygine (I am a bad boy when it comes to proper flossing). Yet she is the one who has suffered through several root canals, etc.
I’m curious why they feel that cavity elimination alone will eliminate dental visits as there is still the floss/gum disease issue that can’t be avoided through just brushing.
Okay, not really.
Xylitol toothpaste is good if you brush the teeth of an impaired person who might swallow the toothpaste occasionally. Flouride is really bad to swallow but xylitol won’t hurt you
Looking forward to the results from the human trials. Loss of libido, hair loss, severe twitching...
Not sure I would want that going on in my mouth; might set up an imbalance, and cause gut bacteria to change. It’s not nice to fool around with Mother Nature TOO much...
The ADA will see this chemical disappears into Area 51 along with 200mpg carburetors.
I heard about an antibacterial agent like this back in the 1970s. This will never see the light of day.
Dentist visit of the future: Your teeth are fine, but your gums will have to come out.
