Contains a potentially dangerous chemical
According to a news posting on the Medscape website today (1/17/2019):
"Flossing teeth could increase the body's levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) — widely used chemicals linked to a number of diseases and certain cancers — warn US researchers."
"Oral-B Glide and five competitor flosses contained detectable fluorine (including three branded as Glide and two with labels inviting customers to compare the products with Oral-B Glide).
"Specifically, flossing with Oral-B Glide was associated with 24.9% higher median levels of PFHxS."
