I'm being a bit of a hypocrite here because I use it and have done for as long as I remember, but the thing leaves your mouth horribly dry for the next few hours. I've taken to rinsing after use now as it just makes your day all shitty.

Rising costs of everything... Nothing ever goes down these days does it? =/ and your pay packet doesn't inflate with the rest of stuff.

Did you know that any mouth wash you use or Colgate total tooth paste is really not good for you? These products kill off all bacteria, not only do they kill off the bad ones but they also kill off the good ones as well, the do not discriminate between the two. For your body to try to constantly keep up with keeping the good bacteria is what leads to a lot of health problems, thats why there is a thin line between being clean and being dangerous.

They health department also strongly suggests against all those anti-bacterial hand soaps as well for the same reason.
Sorry to et off topic, but for a study I did in health I had to do a lot of reading about this :P

Ever heard of an illness called C-diff? It's an illness that kills a great number of really young and elderly, what happens is these ppl take a bunch of meds that kill off all the antibodies in their stomach and or body trying to get rid of the bad stuff but also killing off all the good kind as well, resulting in c-diff attacking their gut and causing flu like symptoms that result in a lot of bad news.

Thats why I don't use mouth wash anymore, don't use anti-bacterial soap(getting harder to find soap that doesn't have this) and I am always read up on the shots me or my kids get just so I am aware what we are really putting into our bodies in order to keep us safe.
