A study from Tulane University revealed that an extract of cocoa powder that occurred naturally in chocolates is more effective than the fluoride in toothpaste. The study is also supported by scientists from Japan’s Osaka University saying that chocolate could help prevent tooth decay.
Chocolate toothpaste have been launched by many companies which are aimed at kids but not their parents. Unilever Philippines Inc. made chocolate flavored toothpaste under the name ‘Closeup Flavalicious’ but it was relatively for fun as the cavity-fighting component was still fluoride. It contains the taste of chocolate but not really made out of chocolate. In Japan, they sell tiny 32-flavoued tubes of toothpaste including chocolate flavor which is actually light mint toothpaste, while in America, chocolate toothpaste was actually invented. Kids don’t use it for brushing their teeth but they eat it!
