My grandmother used to use an old fashioned tooth brushing powder. You wet your tooth brush, poured a little powder in your hand, then made a paste with the water on your brush, and then brushed your teeth with it.
No sweeteners. And man, oh man, was it foul tasting. I can still remember it. Blech!
So yes, I'd say some sweetening is needed. Most of that stuff is just nasty tasting.
Almost makes me want to try it, just to see what it's like! I wouldn't mind a pile of mint flavor to cover whatever the ick is, but the level of sweet in my normal Colgate is starting to get to me.
Oh, man! When I was a kid I'd use that powder at my uncle's place. It was indeed foul tasting, and gritty, too!
I haven't thought about that horrible taste in years...I need to go rinse my mouth right now...CJ, do yourself a favor and *don't* try this stuff at home!
