Earlier quoted context omitted.

My first thought was, why this vs. caffeinated gum? I've used the gum for years (look up "military energy gum") and it's perfect. But I don't want it every time I brush. Brushing teeth and wanting a pick-me-up seem like totally orthogonal needs. Pro tip: keep a pack of caffeinated gum in your car. Great for road trips or late nights!

> 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.

I don't. I always buy the non fluorinated toothpaste from Trader Joe's. Considering it is sold out 50% of the time, it is a pretty popular option.

So at night before bed, I need to use a non-caffeinated version? Now I have different tubes, depending on the time of day.
