As an avid tooth brusher and caffeine addict I'm struggling to understand why I would want this? Can you elaborate

#82> Power Toothpaste does not contain Fluoride. We know many of you don't want fluoride in your toothpaste. This seems bizarre to me. People don't want fluoride in their toothpaste? Why not? Dentists seem pretty unanimous that everyone should brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soap, sugar, milk. Ice cream. Children's ice cream.
Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Re: Show HN: I invented a caffeinated toothpaste
#84So, if I want to be able to sleep at night, I now need to buy two types of toothpaste? Folks feeling groggy in the morning should try cutting caffeine out of their diet, not applying it directly to their gums.
If I feel groggy in the morning, I'm also going to stick with the proven solution of going to bed at a more reasonable time the previous evening. But di and I are in the minority on this, I think. There is definitely a market for people who want to get higher, faster, when the double-shot of espresso doesn't quite do the trick any more, and when crushing up a caffeine pill in a coffee grinder before consuming the raw powder is still a bit too much.
So cheers to all you stimulant addicts out there for your new market option. You no longer need to ask a compounding pharmacist to do this sort of thing for you--unless, of course, there are other over-the-counter drugs you might want to take every morning, in imprecisely measured doses.

Not sure if you're sarcastic. If not, what does Communism have to do with anything?

#87Brushing before breakfast seems like a weird idea to me. The mint flavor of the toothpaste would ruin the flavor of what I'd eat and I would need to brush again after.
Did all of HN stop eating breakfast after this post? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11753668

It's the most stupid thing, though. We also shower and cook with this water.
Agreed. It's sapping our precious bodily fluids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr2bSL5VQgM
Well, if you're okay with putting excess amounts of chemicals on your skin that are targeting your teeth although you may get enough from green tea, I'm not, and many others aren't either. I bought a chlorine filter for my shower, and all my dandruff and skin itching issues have disappeared, so, call it a conspiracy theory or whatever, but you can't beat the facts.

I wrote a longer comment about this below, but the essential reason is: if I made fluoride a product requirement, I wouldn't have gotten to a release. It would have added a huge expense. Additionally, fluoride is much more important for children. As enamel is forming, fluoride interacts with it and strengthens it. Adults need far less (threshold dose effect) and for most people in the United States, they likely get e…
If your formula is simple enough, listing it on the box might be good marketing.
I really like the idea of caffeinated toothpaste. It is simple & brilliant and I hope you succeed with this.
