thanks for your information and good luck to you both and anyone else who is trying this. I tried a Tesco Extra store today but they didnt have it. I'll try H&B when I get the chance. At the moment I'm using a pack of Smints containing Xylitol, but not the regular tiny things, these are quite large and they have 2 layers. Its making my saliva feel like it contains sugar. I can taste a constant taste of sweetness in my mouth. I'm only taking one after brushing my teeth and whenever I've eaten anything and the freshness doesnt wear off at all.
I still get a bit concerned when my mouth gets dry from doing sports and exertion. I've still got one remaining impacted unerupted lower wisdom tooth on one side, which I'll eventually have removed. Sometimes I can taste a slight sourness/skankiness coming from the gum there so maybe this is giving me some small amount of odour, but nothing like what the other wisdom tooth was causing. I dont detect this taste on any other areas of gum.
Xylitol is definitely good for my mouth. This is the only BB measure I'm taking btw. Also, popaloo, I understand this is very low in calories compared to normal sugar, so you dont need to be concerned about adding weight - so if you were to replace sugar with this you'll be reducing your effective calorie intake.
Hooch I'm not sure what is the most effective way to make use of it's supposed beneficial effect on BB, but its having an effect on me just by sucking a Smint after normal brushing. Try dissolving some in water and using it like a mouthwash to see how that goes. You could even carry it around with you disguised as a bottle of mineral water and take frequent sips.
I had my first go this afternoon and like you say its a strange feeling. Like my previous post said i can't believe how sweet it tastes. In a sense this is weird as whenever i eat anything sweet my initial thought is 'i am going to smell really bad after this'. I didn't sense any sour taste even a couple of hours after taking half a teaspoon so that's good.
I don't know how much this is going to improve the smell as i have sinus issues but it seems like a fantastic product to use on a daily basis for freshness and a bit of a confidence booster.
I am going to use some in my neti-pot also. I had to stop using the salt water solution as it was burning my sinuses too much.
Good luck everyone!!

I found Perfect Sweet in my local Sainsbury's last week (UK). I think they are probably just starting to stock up cos for weeks they havent had any, but they do now. Didnt buy any tho cos the large Smints work as well as i think xylitol is ever going to work. There is no question it reduces plaque buildup. What it does for breath I can only say from about 4 years ago when I know that smints were the most effective sweets that I could eat.
And obviously, if the source of your BB is from the nose or lungs etc, its not likely to do much at all.
