In the news. Doctors Develop World's Longest Lasting Mint
In the news. Doctors Develop World's Longest Lasting Mint
The mint is a dot sized and takes on average three hours to dissolve in the mouth. They claim one single dot lasts as long as 40 Altoids.
They said that the mint contained Xylitol -- an all natural sweetener that has been shown to kill bad breath, plaque & gingivitis germs and remineralize and whiten the teeth.
I did an Internet search and came up with this article in the Houston Chronicle about it:
http://www.chron.com/business/press-rel ... 772942.php
I ordered a month supply from ForeverMints.com at intro price of $19.95. Received two days later. I must say I'm impressed. They work as promised.
One issue though. The dots take about 4 hours to dissolve in my mouth so if I want to eat I have to take it out. But, it tastes just like an Altoid over the entire 4 hour period.
I also went to bed with one in my mouth (it adheres to gum line) and when I woke up 7 hours later, it was still there. They said it would last this long because we don't salivate as much at night while we sleep.
I didn't have morning mouth when i woke up. My breath was crystal fresh -- or peppermint fresh.

The question is whether the claims he makes about his product are honest or lies. If a mint can last 4 hours, i want to know about it.

It lasts for at least 3 hours for me; my concern was how would I talk to people etc? But it kinda glues itself to your gums, so you can still talk as normal. fyi, I believe I have type 1 bb [possible type 2 also, but ENT says he doesn't see any nasal issues] I suspect this might only be useful for people with type 1 though, soo not sure
Disadvantages I have noticed:
- constantly having that mint taste/ smell; but obviously I prefer this to my usual sour taste
- When I was ready to eat, it took a good 5 - 7 mins for me to completely dissolve the mint. And even after eating a brownie, I can still taste mint.
I will update back at the end of the week, as to if I'm still satisfied.

Even better would be a similar long-lasting tablet that can stick in the mouth, but instead release a safe antibacterial type substance (or deodorizing substance), without the need to mask odours with peppermint. There surely must be something that can be released slowly in the mouth that can do this, like nano-silver particles or whatever, or even antibiotic substances which don't get absorbed into the body, but only act by direct contact in the mouth while they're in there.
Jesus Christ how hard can it ****ing be? However complex the causes of bad breath might be, it's only a ****ing odour. With all the technology available, how the **** are we still so stuck in the dark ages when it comes to BREATH odour FFS.

compor, I definitely recommend you try it. Even though its not a cure, its still a discreet mask that works for now and is clearly the best mask I have found thus far. I put it my mouth overnight and no morning breath; just mint breath. So I guess this will be my solution until I find something permanent.

Zinc is very powerful at both neutralizing odours and affecting the VSC production of bacteria. Like EVERYTHING aimed at bad breath reduction, it's how effective it can be for the moment you use it and how long the effects will last - and for most people the bad breath starts again within minutes, even with the most expensive SHIT that KATZ and the rest of the extortionists can offer.
If Zinc could be released slowly into the mouth it might be able to have continuous effectiveness. JESUS that's all that's would be needed for most people, just something that works CONTINUOUSLY. Every odour problem has a solution, whether it's a fridge or a foot or a pet's arsehole, there's an effective solution for it and people don't have to spend a lifetime trying to solve it for themselves.
Zinc probably would work if released slowly. Maybe there's some patent troll preventing it. I can't imagine in this age where even individual atoms can be manipulated, why we still have to rely on ****ing peppermint
I know the few times I chew gum and I rarely do, I can taste the farty odor.
Today I had a few polos and was told it smelt nice lol. I'm not gonna buy a shed load of polos anytime soon.
I never use mouth wash either.
It's strange that I can taste/smell it more when I chew gum.
A work colleague even pointed out the smell as well. He just thought I let out a bad fart.
I'm currently in the process of arranging a meeting with an oral surgeon.
Hopefully I can get this half erupted wisdom taken out. I'm sure he will do X-rays and what not.
But I'm not gonna get my hopes up in the slightest.

@fedup, gum works fine for me until the flavour wears off. Then my mouth gets dry and the bb slowly starts creeping back with an amalgamated scent of gum. But its not the gum itself that makes my bb worse. Although I have a sour/metallic bb and I personally suspect fecal bbs may be due to tonsil or digestive issues.

@StillHoping, God knows. I think people like Katz don't wish to shoot themselves in the foot by creating the perfect solution to this problem, so they are scrambling to discover and patent specific bacteria, like the type in Blis-K12, which they know will not be able to colonize the mouth, but probably do help some people a bit for a while after they take them until the bacteria are naturally wiped out again. Crap that they can patent and charge whatever extortionate price they like, knowing that stupid people with harmless coffee-breath will hail as a cure for bad breath, and then assume that everyone with true chronic bad breath is just a dirty animal. Then other companies are happy knowing that everyone thinks Katz and co are the breath GODS and don't bother to innovate, and happy to sell even worse crap we find taking up entire rows in supermarkets.

Its pretty obvious at this point; if we want a cure, we will need to just come up with it ourselves.
