“Dude, if the product wasn’t safe, I wouldn’t be using it myself, giving it to my girlfriend, and giving it to my friends.”
If this product doesn’t pan out he’d be a great fit for a tobacco company, at least.

Brings to mind the way Tarkovsky, his wife, and most of his crew died from chemical exposure during the filming of Stalker. Except I have a feeling they had a grim knowledge of the risks involved

“Anticavity probiotic”… so… yogurt for your teeth?

It’s mouth bacteria modified to produce antibiotics and alcohol instead of lactic acid, so this is some pretty spicy yogurt.
In theory, the antibiotics kill off the bad bacteria so the good bacteria can thrive. No more acid, no more cavities.
In practice, there’s a lot that can go wrong, and even if everything works as planned taking low-dose antibiotics 24/7 is maybe not the best thing for your gut health.
To be fair, many of the naturally occurring bacteria that you have do this anyway.
