Teflon is being put in to everything any more why not toothpaste. Would help keep smokers and coffee drinkers teeth whiter.

Jutta, I think I have to disagree with your [mfd]magic. Potential health risks aside, (and also disregarding the fact that I am not a chemist) They make toilet bowl cleaners that contain teflon that supposedly keeps the porcelain surface non-stick, so why not toothpaste? |
|
|
I don't know anything about the chemistry that would enable this, but you get a bun from me. |

I can't chew anything... <squeak squeak> |

I've never checked in to it, but I've sort of assumed that the Teflon infused bathroom products are a gimmick. |
|
|
Given the slipperiness(?) of the stuff and the effort required to make Teflon stick to cooking utensils, I don't see how the stuff could possibly adhere to a porcelain surface and have nothing stick to it. |

Wasn't there a teflon coated teeth idea here once? |
|
|
Clorox's web site doesn't give much insite into how it works, but does say it's made of a different material than Teflon cookware. |

[World]: first time I've ever encountered the phrase "Incidental bowl water ingestion". |
|
|
Yeah, looks like the PR people and the lawyers worked together on that FAQ. I'll let my dog know that Clorox doesn't recommend that she drinks from the bowl. |

How did this get four buns? |

Toohtpaste is mildy abrasive, to clean the teeth. Teflon
is slicker 'n pigsnot in a snowstorm. Seems like these
competing functions are going to conflict with each other
to some ill effect. |
|
|
Surely it should be the cigarettes and the coffee that are laced with teflon, in order to prevent toothly stickage? |
