Well crap... I'm so glad I found this thread posted on the OCF Facebook page! This is so very lousy to learn. Last time I tried a conventional toothpaste, I had to spit it out within 10 or 15 seconds, it burned so badly. I've been wondering if Tom's children toothpastes would work for me. They won't have the enzymes, of course, but maybe I could tolerate them.

Damn, I hate corporations.
