jacob111 -toothpaste

I have yet to come across a kid enjoys brushing teeth, let alone with toothpaste and in this particular instance, a brown one.  Perhaps I was raised and indoctrinated with the idea the white equates with purity, clean and hygiene.  Or rather, it is the successful toothpaste commercial that caused me stay with white toothpaste for the last fifty years and counting. What ever that may be, it never occurs to me that brown color has similar or even better functions for that matter.

I am no connoisseur in tooth paste and doubt if one is out there at all.  Keeping one eye shut, I tried out a dab of this gooey brown during a morning routine.  Put aside the color, I was not sure what was ahead in this episode.  As its scent made the first contact, I thought it was one of those OTC (over the counter) cough syrup.  After procrastinated for another second, I finally gave in and start scrubbing.  Now, that’s strange.  Once made its landing, the taste was not bad at all, and in fact there was a mild menthol soothingness more subtle than the brand I used to.  The cough syrup scent was quickly replaced by taste like molasses, little sweeter and cool, and most of all, it last longer.  

Indeed, there is menthol as ingredient as well as a bunch of others with tongue twisting names, but to my utter relief and surprise, there is no triclosan in the gel.  Triclosan is a very potent antibacterial chemical and when in high dosage, it will terminate the user as well as the bugs.

So, in this respect, my hats off to it.  But of course, I cannot based on one finding and crown this toothpaste with all my heart.  There is still this color to battle with.  Imagine one has to go about his daily business with the wrong hand, his diary would certainly sounds like a combat log.  Such is also true with taste.  It certainly does not taste like Coke.  Summing this up, this Ganodenma Reishi Propolis Toothpaste would not be an issue should one get used to it.  And as a bonus, if used liberally after spicy meals, it certainly would enhance your personality from the perspective of the opposite sex. 

Despite of the health wonder it prescribes on the package, I would stay with my dental floss and rinse out thoroughly for the moment.  And hopefully one day, as I give it a squeeze, it is the white stuff my teeth have relied on for decades.
