So I had to get some cavities filled this morning. Ugh. Thankfully, my dentist was very gentle. I was a little worried since he just got back from Arizona yesterday where he watched his alma mater, Ohio State, get stomped by the Gators in the National Championship game. So he was a little blue. Anyway, I’ve got a ridiculous amount of tiny cavities (seven more to go), all thanks to my terrible habit of drinking coffee with sugar all morning long. My dentist told me that Splenda was actually way better for my teeth since the sugar and calories are what bacteria eats. Splenda’s sugar-free and calorie-free. I had previously thought that since Splenda was a derivative of sugar, it would be no better for my teeth. Not so, says my doc. When I got back to my home office, I did a little searching and found that Splenda has just released a fabulous new product just for us java addicts: Flavor Blends for Coffee. They’re the same little yellow pouch of sweetness, but with added flavors such as french vanilla, mocha, and hazelnut. Stir, sip, and rest easy that you are taking care of your pearly whites while you zap your body with caffeine. Now all you have to worry about are those nasty coffee stains.
