About the stuff growing in the toilet... If this oil removes enamel from the sink maybe it removes enamel from the toilet bowl. This would make the surface rougher which would allow bacteria to cling to it and not be washed away. If the toilet bowl was so smooth, for example, that nothing could adhere to it the water alone would keep it spotless. But maybe this oil etches it a bit.
It makes me think you shouldn't rinse with the oil very long, or every day, and you shouldn't brush with the oil in your mouth or right after, assuming it does somehow affect the enamel in the sink, it might etch your teeth.
I love that people get angry about the theories other people have about how they clean their teeth.
Thank you for this well timed post from you my fellow anonymous poster.
I have for a few weeks studied these things online and when it comes to the bacteria it turns out it is normal black mold that grows in the toilet, This is a fairly common problem it seems and since I used a nice smell gel in the toilet it may be that the things in that gel caused things to grow. The oil you spit out simply isn't in contact with the ceramics in the toilet to be able to grow anything.
Everyone that has used a ceramics cup to drink out of knows that the bottom of it looks awful after not too long. Tooth enamel is the hardest material in the world and ceramics is of course not. I think that spitting into a sink and not washing that away will cause the ceramics to dissolve but it could also be that a good clean takes the problem away. I am not sure that the damage wasn't already there.
Dentists wants you to rinse your mouth but the products that are sold have been proved not to work as was widely reported by media at the beginning of this year or end of last year. Everything that enters the mouth will destroy the tooth enamel over time but the things that damages it quickly is of course all liquids but water. Orange juice and coca cola and the likes are the worst of the lot and red wine and smoking.
I started with sesame oil but changed to cocoa oil and my teeth are now whiter and the little pains here and there are gone. Had the oil damaged the teeth further I would have felt it and noticed it. People think they have yellow teeth cause of what they have been eating and drinking but the fact is most of those people have lost their tooth enamel and are actually looking at the bare tooth bone that is darker or "yellow". Whitening your already exposed tooth bone will cause aches and pains in your teeth and serious dentists that care about their patients and not their wallet will inform you of this.
The sink is not the place to spit your oil out. It is more exposed to air than a closed toilet is so therefor the oil and other things you spit into it will create more damage in shorter time than it does in the toilet that is also flushed constantly. I checked my toilet with a flashlight and it looks the way it should. I have a modern sink and toilet and older sinks and toilets may of course get damaged easier.
The benefit with cocoa oil over sesame oil is that cocoa oil is a natural bacteria killer and it is bacteria you want to kill before it creates a mess with your teeth. You should not brush your teeth with the oil in the mouth and most people should use a special tooth paste that preserves and defends the tooth enamel. A soft brush is also recommended. You can however brush the teeth right after you have used the oil swishing method because that will not soften the tooth enamel in the same way as food and drink does. Always brush teeth at least an hour after you had your last bite or drink.
Finally I think people get mad when people that have not tested it or checked the facts online still come here with an opinion that mostly seems based on preconception. We are not only cleaning our teeth but the gums and the rest of the mouth as well which is important.
