You don’t need to cause extinction events in your mouth twice a day to avoid poor dental hygiene.

It's better to think of your body as a walking city of interlinked organisms of different species than a single organism. They need you as much as you need them. Killing off some of those symbionts can have negative effects for the other party (you).
Mouthwash is indiscriminate in that it kills of a huge amount of bacteria, but some of those are actually useful.

I really want to know, why don't we all supplement with L-arginine long term? Time-release capsules are available and I have taken for numerous issues like RSI to great success. Whats the downside to long term usage?
Side bar : L citrulline is thought to be more effective than arginine. One downside that I don’t see discussed much, as I’ve watched multiple recalls over recent years for supposed contamination of things like tmao and other toxins in either the manufacturing process or packaging process, I wonder how many supplements are contaminated. I have never seen an analysis even from the vendors who do pretty hefty chemical c…

Betaine is another thing to look at. One of the cheapest supplements, no (or very low) toxicity, and seems to regulate NO metabolism, among other things.

#79If your headline includes the word "may" in this fashion, it's not a headline. Come back when you have real news.
I prefer this to the two alternatives of either not letting anyone know what you may have found or confidently exaggerating the results.
