“Eat candy and fight tooth decay. What a sweet concept, right?

Well, microbiologists in Berlin are trying to make that dream a reality.

They’ve created a sugarless mint that’s aimed at washing out cavity-causing
bacteria from your mouth. And the candy works in a curious way: It’s spiked with
dead bacteria. It’s like probiotics for your teeth.”

Well…it’s exciting to see that researchers are making progress regarding Probiotics
and oral health.  Body Biotics has been offering a Chewable Probiotic since 2005
and we routinely tell our customers how very important the chewables are for
fighting bacteria in the mouth.  If you aren’t using the Body Biotics Chewable
version on a daily basis, you may want to consider it.
