coconut oil was in one of my tissue culture protocols (sorry forgot which plant) so I thought, what the hell I'll try it as tooth paste. It has a known mild anti-bacteria effect and oil is hydrophobic. It coats your teeth well and stays there. There were other people from a google search that use it, it just worked for me. If its good enough for a petri dish then its good enough for me.

hell, here's a crackpot theory website linking to a study saying its the best possible toothpaste known so far... https://www.davidwolfe.com/coconut-oil-is-better-than-toothp...
