Not bashing the conclusion, but I seriously thought it was common knowledge that Oral B glide and equivalent products were PTFE based.

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.

‘Common’? I suspect a sampling of random people on the street would approximate closer to zero

It used to be a big selling point of Glide that it's made with Teflon/Gore-Tex: it was originally made by Gore and had the Gore logo right on the package.

Nope. I bought it because I absolutely hate flossing, and I absolutely need to floss, so I bought Oral B Glide as an effort to get myself to floss.

Lumping PTFE with PFAS is willfully misleading people.

The two might have things in common during manufacturing, but as a final product delivered to a consumer? Utterly different.
