does dental floss have sweetner on it?

I know I will sound insane but I SWEAR my dental floss tastes like its coated in sugar.

I always use glide and that has always tasted sweetish to me, but I was out and all I had was reach and now that tastes sweet to me it.

Do they coat dental floss in AS? Can they do that and not list ingredients?

There is something sweet in my floss!

I think some of it does have flavoring on it, I've seen "mint" flavored dental floss. I don't think they'd put sugar in it though. Probably xylitol or something and a very, very tiny amount.

Okay, I called the company. They coat the floss with saccharin.

least now I know I'm not crazy!

I suppose it makes sense... I hadn't really thought about it before. Thanks for checking into it.

Good to know they aren't putting sugar in dental products...and while we are on the subject, I don't have tooth/cavity problems anymore since cutting out sugar. Anyone else notice this?! It's great!
