That would be interesting to see how this is achieved as the surfactants in toothpaste are inhibiting the taste buds that perceive sweetness.

All I want is a toothpaste that doesn’t make my taste buds leap out of my mouth and run under the cabinets when I’m dumb enough to forget NOT to eat an orange right after brushing my teeth.

That’s all I want. Toothpaste that doesn’t make my hair stand on end when I brush my teeth and then eat an orange.

As someone who’s allergic to artificial sweeteners I’m not so thrilled about this. I really don’t want them in anything I use as I really don’t like having to go to the hospital.

(It sucks to have this allergy cause I really want some mint flavored gum but they all are sugar free now adays which means they have artificial sweeteners in them. Grr!)

” As reported in Nature, scientists from Monell describe how certain artificial sweeteners, including sodium saccharin and acesulfame-K, paradoxically inhibit sweet taste at high concentrations ”

Are these concentrations a common amount, as in 2 – 3 packets per 8 oz cup? Rather than hoping for a sweet aftertaste in a mouthwash, this appears to be what I see regularly: people lose the ability to taste the sweetner and use more and more over time. The beverage doesn’t taste sweet upon drinking it as it would with sugar, but leaves a sweet lingering aftertaste, causing the drinker to crave more sweetness. I have friends who use 5 or 6 packets to sweeten a glass of tea and artificial sweetners are reportedly SWEETER than sugar.
