Happy Weekend 👋
Do you remember when we wrote about water flossers? Well, this writer got one, and can report:
1) If you’d like to try the “wargargargle dog drinking from a hose” experience that dogs seem to have so much fun with, then this is it.
2) It does take some practice to water floss just one’s teeth, rather than water flossing the entire bathroom (it’s a very “teaspoon in sink” kind of ricochet).
As for the science of the efficacy of water flossing, see: Flossing Without Flossing?
In today’s email we cover peppermint & your blood pressure, menopausal weight gain, and tinnitus.
Enjoy!
