Sounds funny, doesn't it? Toothpaste with chocolate. It is true! And it's organic. And whitening. Is there a better way to start a day than brush your teeth with chocolate toothpaste?!!!

Theodent tootpaste is flouride-free and made from chocolate - actually from cocoa beans. Dental decay is the most widespread and prevalent condition plaguing humankind. It affects the overall health and well-being. While looking in the unlikeliest of places, the sweet scientific discovery was made. A scientist found a compound that occurs naturally in chocolate.

The toothpaste doesn't taste chocolate but fresh mint. And the color is white, not chocolate brown. What I like a lot is that it's not foaming too much. The organic side is also a big plus. Non-toxic Rennou is the ingredient devired from cocoa beans. It works better than flouride to strenghthen teeth.

A bit of luxury to my Monday morning! 

(FI) No, joo, kuulostaa tosi hullulla. Hammastahnassa suklaata. Totta se kuitenkin on! Ja kaiken lisäksi vielä luomutuote. Ja valkaiseva. Onkohan parempaa tapaa aloittaa päivä kuin harjata hampaat suklaalla?!!!

Theodent-hammastahna on tehty suklaasta - tai siis kaakaopavuista - eikä se sisällä fluoridia. Hampaiden reikiintyminen on ihmiskunnan laajimmin levinnyt vallitseva vitsaus, joka vaikuttaa kokonaisvaltaiseen terveyteen ja hyvinvointiin. Tiedemiehet ovat tehneet makean löydön, jolla ehkäistä tätä ikävää vaivaa - luonnollinen suklaasta löytyvä yhdistelmä. 

Hammastahna ei kuitenkaan maistu suklaalta vaan raikkaalta mintulta. ja sen väri on valkoinen, ei suklaan ruskea. Tykkään tosi paljon tahnan koostumuksesta, sillä se ei vaahtoa kuin hitusen. Luomu on tietysti myös iso plussa. Myrkytön 'Rennou' on kaakaopavuista johdettu yhdistelmä, joka vahvistaa hampaita tehokkaammin kuin fluoridi. 

Pientä luksusta maanantaiaamuun! 

 Where to buy Theodent?

I bought mine at Whole Foods.

Mistä Theodent'a voi ostaa?

Ostin omani Whole Foodsista. Vielä ei taida Suomesta löytyä. Toivotaan, että Ruohonjuuri ottaisi sen pian valikoimiinsa.

Back In LA

 Drove back from Las Vegas to LA

on Tuesday 

- the road is rather boring, 5hours of desert

Went straight to Whole Foods to buy some sushi:

avocado maki rolls, tuna maki rolls

and wholegrain Californian rolls with crab, avocado & cucumber.

Did some laundry and watched House Hunters on HGTV

Will soon put some pics of the incredible Las Vegas!

Kind of super huge cruiser ship 

for gambling, shopping, dining, partying, pampering in spas,

watching shows etc 24/7.
