alcohol as you know is a highly addictive substance and repeated use can lead to oral cancer. baking soda has some benefits but is too abrasive to use regularly. get "addicted" to an ada approved toothpaste. craved foods or non-foods = body desperate for missing minerals. eating craved items fails to get minerals the system needs increasing use to perceived "addiction". body "knows" what's needed seeks what resembles? what's missing. could be salt sugar etc. too. older cultures ate special clays for this: problem solved! pregnant mothers sought special clays--probably higher in magnesium to counter eclampsia. others chose different clays. many have used mezotrace or simply kelp snacks to fix this; either of these have all the minerals in good balance. even just eating lots of veggies helps. mezotrace is a fine powder sprinkles on food usually at health food stores. kelp snacks are sold in lots of stores now--tasty! you will most probably stop craving baking soda once your body gets it's needed minerals. most do; amounts differ per person. one sister literally snowed on her dinner plate with salt; took fresh veggies lost the salt shaker. get needed nutrients only that it does and craves sources of minerals strongly enough to drive serious cravings. i cannot explain how a body knows what to seek out just that it does but often fails to get them due to mans' manipulation of our food sources over time. various clays have been used for this supplementation for thousands of years.
i have become addicted to brushing my teeth with baking soda and rubbing alcohol. are there any dangers to this?
