Trailing Thoughts

Here is some good news for constant gum chewers. Big Red gum is the gum of choice for people interested in killing 50% of the odor killing bacteria in the mouth. This is only found in Big Red, because of a natural oil that is used to flavor the gum. The cinnamic aldehyde plant extract used in the gum, after chewing it for 20 minutes, can kill 50% on anaerobic bacteria in the saliva.
As my campaign for colon cancer screening, I came across a newer option for screening. It is a fecal immunochemical test that can be used at home to detect blood in the stool, for people that may be concerned about colon cancer but cannot bring themselves to talk to their doctor about it. I have not seen it in local stores, but I assume they can be ordered by your local pharmacy. Next time I am at work and think of it, I will have to check if it can be ordered.
