The toothpaste manufacturers of the world are scamming us. Here's what I have figured out: morning breath is caused by toothpaste.
FACT
When you brush your teeth right before bed with toothpaste, you wake up the next morning with the pasty, sticky, stale taste in your mouth.
FACT
When you don't brush your teeth before bed (let's pretend you're too tired or something, OK?), you don't wake up with that taste in your mouth.
FACT
Toothpaste has sugar in it -- that's why it tastes good.
FACT
Eating/drinking/ingesting sugar before you go to bed keeps your saliva flowing, and leaves a residue in your mouth... like when you've had a soda to drink, and an hour later you realize you have some weird filmy substance covering your tongue and you have to brush your teeth to get rid of the taste.
FACT
When you wake up with morning breath, you are more likely to use more toothpaste when you brush your teeth that morning.
FACT
When you use more toothpaste, you need to buy it more frequently. When you buy it more frequently, the toothpaste company makes more money.

Oh putting sugar in toothpaste is fairly innoccuous compared to them putting rayon in tampons to make you bleed. Yes, really.
I buy Toms of Maine tpaste, and organic COTTON tampons. Or was that 'TMI'... Sorry! ;-)
FACT
Once you squeeze toothpaste, you can't get it back in the tube.
More devious behavior from Big Toothpaste.
Devo, thanks for researching that. I was curious too, but I was going to wait until the weekend.
I'm kind of a nut for these scare things, and I like to keep my friends infomred!!! So take this info for what it's worth.It would seem kinda counterintuitive for them to put sugar in a product ostensibly meant to prevent cavities.
