…at least in a small percentage of people? Random topic to blog about, yes, but needless to say I’m a little disturbed by this.
Tried it last night, oh it works wonderfully…except I couldn’t taste the omlette I so lovingly made in the morning nor the coffee that I made to go with it. That freaked me out. So I retraced my steps. Didn’t burn my tongue. Didn’t do anything to otherwise destroy my tongue. I did try that new mouthwash though. I remembered looking at it and seeing CPC as the active ingredient and being just a little weirded out by how “chemicaly” it sounded. I had good reason apparently, to be weirded out.
I went to the Crest website just to confirm I wasn’t insane. Sure enough, I’m not (shocking I know).

And then, just to make doubly sure, I found this:

CPC has been used as an industrial pesticide? Nice!
So here’s the thing: I’m a bit of a foodie, I love food…if I can’t taste food, I get really pissed off. I’m not sure I’ll be using this product anymore. Go Listerine!

I use the mouthwash because I use Crest prohealth toothpaste and it has improved my teeth and gums miraculously. I noticed after the first day of using it, it took about 10 hrs before I could taste the flavor in my food. The one advantage to this,it’s sort of acting as an appetitie suppressant. I have always been on my feet while working but I have a new position where I sit at a desk for 12hrs, my biggest problem in addition to not moving around is snacking unneccessarily. I’ve gained 20 lbs since starting my new job last October. I kind of like my new found diet aid, my teeth and gums are healthy and I do not snack during my 12 hr shifts.

I used it for the first (and only) time last night, and I haven’t been able to taste salt AT ALL today. I just had some fries and I’ve got the salt shaker right next to me – not helping. I hope my sense of salt taste comes back, this is AWFUL! There must be something we can do as far as letting Crest know that their product is destroying peoples’ sense of taste, what a horrible thing to do to us!!

Okay so I used the crest pro health mouthwash for the first time and it was fine. The next night I used it, it left a horrible taste in my mouth. I am beyond mad because the taste won’t go away. How long do you think this taste will be gone? Please reply back…

My husband bought this mouthwash for me a few days ago I used it 4-5 times before realizing that it was the reason I could not taste anything. I am so mad and concerned that I still have no taste
