goo-lover. They put goo into their soaps, they rubbed goo over their
entire bodies, they sold pure goo to rub their hands with; goo in their
shampoos, goo in their antibiotics, goo before fucking each other's homo
asses, and goo as the material to wash their teeth with. Nothing simpler
and better and cleaner and healthier and more natural than a few
milligrams of salt to use, to wash teeth, and that species _never_ found
that out. _Will_ never find it out.

Western toothpaste contains diatomaceous earth which is an excellent

Western toothpaste also contains fluorides which can strengthen enamel.

I would never prefer salt to a good formulated toothpaste.
