It used to be a big selling point of Glide that it's made with Teflon/Gore-Tex: it was originally made by Gore and had the Gore logo right on the package.
I’ve switched to using Radius silk floss - it’s better in almost every way compared to the various brands we’ve tried. Only annoying thing is the packaging but it’s plastic free also.
Yea silk floss is really nice. Food caught between your teeth sticks better to the silk than to glide, and getting the silk between your teeth requires slightly more pressure, which feels nice to me.
Yah that link is a lie, and I quote: "It’s important to note that our lab is not looking for PFAS compounds directly, because it’s simply impossible to look for all of them."
"levels of organic fluorine, a marker for PFAS" - yah, that's basically an outright lie. Flourine is also a marker for Teflon (PTFE) which is 100% not a problem.
This is junk science taken to it's ultimate level.
What do you mean? Dr Tung's is listed under '“Not Our Favorite” Tooth Floss Brands' and considered to contain PFAS (although there appears to be some dispute in the comments).
It’s also annoying that people lump PTFE with other PFAS when it is pretty clearly less of an issue (note: not completely trouble free) in most cases.
