I guess I am going to die from making my own kombucha, kefir, and yogurt because the FDA isn't regulating it. WHAT IF... the mass increase in colon cancers in young people is due to gut bacteria colonies being taken over by a strain of bacteria in mouths that also survives stomach acids? What if that is causing the huge increase in IBS? What if the high carb diets and alternative sugars being consumed at mind bogglin…

One could just eat other fruits, is there some reason the tomato, other than marketing "antioxidants", need be the purple fruit one eats? Maybe it's a different question. Does the flavour seem mostly the same? A drop in for recipes?
The reason I bought it was simply "that's neat". I'm not doing it for health reasons. Mine aren't mature yet, but the flavor is apparently just a pretty typical cherry tomato.
Came here to be “that guy”. Never had a single cavity in over 50years of being alive and have really bad dental care habits. I brush once a day for about 30 seconds, don’t really floss and have gone up to 6 years between cleanings. I don’t eat a lot of processed foods or foods high in sugar, but I don’t completely abstain from them either. Nothing to do with Lumina directly, but I’ve always been curious about my dent…
A simpler alternative is xylitol. Not a drug, no FDA approval required. It's a plant-based sweetener that cavity-causing mouth bacteria love to ingest, but which provides no sustenance to them. It essentially fills them up and then causes them to starve them to death, helping maintain minimum mouth bacteria. No bacteria, no cavities. Get it in mints or gum like Zellies or PUR (the only two I've found that don't inclu…

Please be careful pushing xylitol, "sugar alcohols" are neither a sugar or an alcohol. This, of course, is exactly the thing that makes them desirable as a sweetener substitute, the body doesn't really know what to do with the stuff, and, presumably, neither do common mouth bacteria. Sugar alcohols are known for causing digestive troubles, for this very reason, with the most notorious example being the Haribo "sugar…

what does that mean? does it produce toxic chemicals? is it carcinogenic? or is this just fear mongering?
swishing a xylitol solution around your mouth is also different than pouring it in every drink you have.

> I imagine that you could, at least on paper, create a Rube Goldberg machine in their genes that, say, killed them if they produced lactic acid It’s like Jurassic Park’s “Lysine Contingency”, but in your mouth
I do not think "Jurassic Park, but in your mouth" is a winning marketing angle.
