Adding toothpaste to your coffee might sound like a clever idea, but it’s actually not a good practice. While there are some online sources that suggest unconventional combinations for various benefits, it’s important to consider the safety and actual benefits of such practices.
Why You Shouldn’t Mix Toothpaste with Coffee
Chemical Interactions
Toothpaste contains fluoride, abrasives, and other chemicals that are specifically designed for cleaning and protecting teeth, not for ingestion. Mixing toothpaste with coffee means consuming substances that are not meant to be eaten, potentially exposing yourself to harm.
Health Concerns
Swallowing toothpaste, especially for children or people with specific health conditions, can lead to stomach upset or more serious health issues. The fluoride in toothpaste is meant to be spat out, not swallowed.
