@Regina no worries. I do use unsweetened toothpaste (Earthpaste Spearmint). As a cancer survivor, when I fast, I am going for autophagy. Total personal choice as is my doing water fasts only. All of us should do what is best for their situation. Anytime I see any extreme comments, I make note of the name and skip over their comments in the future. Glad you are staying lots of really great info and people here.
Thank you to all who have helped me!

Thanks. But I’m sticking to my guns, and my Sensodyne. But I’m sure if I asked, my dentist would say: “It’s not what you are brushing with, it’s how often…”. Oh no-am I getting an open mind???

Thanks everyone - tomorrow is the start of my accountability thread - you don’t really think I would leave before that! Had a bad day yesterday, and today. My husband has confirmed that when I am upset I am 
I am on here to hear people’s personal experiences of Keto, and related stuff, like exercise. But when it comes to the great triumvirate of a. Preachy. b. Know it all. c. going on and on and on about a subject that is clearly over the poster’s head. I get So I lost my manners and went from sarcasm, to drama queen. And I ended up the recipient in a couple of posts, which stoked the fire. Today, I actually gave the subject of toothpaste consideration. Figure if sugar free is good enough for @Baytowvin, it might be good enough for me. My dentist says, it’s not what you use, but how often you brush and floss. My only concern is I use Sensodyne, cause my teeth are really sensitive. As my mother always said: “Consider the source!” Y’all are stuck with me.

Thanks. I am no doctor but I am convinced that my toothpaste is not the cause of my high triglycerides!

Hey, my keto challenge and accountability thread starts tomorrow. I’ve over the toothpaste issue. But, my goal is to become taller and younger in three month’s time. Stay tuned!

Who said no one wants a 120 pound woman here?
Keto is not just for weight loss, it shouldn’t be the main factor. There are so many other lovely benefits.
Why are you leaving Regina? Who’s feathers have you ruffled? Certainly not mine and I’d be sad to see you go. Surely it can be worked out, everyone is welcome.

Thanks - no, I love following you. And you have made such huge strides! And yes, there are other small people on here. It was a poster going on and on about insulin spikes. The poster had only a vague understanding of what they were talking about, and insisted that (okay, kind of paraphrasing here) everyone use sugar-free toothpaste. Which I understand is the epilepsy protocol. And I totally understand that people may choose that, but the poster was a know it all. I’m here to lower my triglycerides, which I am guessing is not caused by my toothpaste. I just hate extremists, and threatened to jump ship. Which of course I am not doing - since tomorrow is the start of my big accountability thread! I just have to learn to ignore certain posters, and I will be fine! It’s like real life - even an internet presence can be annoying.

Then the question is why let someone so insignificant influence you? You are right to stay exactly where you are! I don’t want to hear any of this leaving nonsense again. It doesn’t matter how much weight we have to lose or whatever health concerns you may have, everyone is welcome to improve their health and rightly so.
Don’t listen to extremists, or the noobs! Just listen to the experts, to which there are plenty here who help us every day.
I would be lost without this forum and would have given up many moons ago.

You are right - I just tend to be a drama queen at times. But I am still here!

And thank you so much for your kind words. I’ve loved following you for the last month or so. It’s just when someone new gets on here and spouts nonsense…I guess I should just KCKO! I’ve lost 12 pounds, and my dentist says my gums show no signs of inflammation - so this is working for me.
