That's a good weight control method your friend has. We could start a whole new subfield: the psychology of tooth brushing. In fact, I wonder if they've studied the psychology of why people do or don't brush and floss. I mean tons of people won't venture out without makeup in place, or having shaved. But not everyone flosses or brushes enough...
> It's funny that you say that. A friend of mine recently told me that she keeps her weight down with a trick. She says that to avoid snacking at night, she brushing her teeth early, and somehow that takes away her hunger. I was guessing maybe brushing the teeth changed the PH of the mouth and somehow relieved her of hunger, or that it was psychological. If it's psychological, I guess brushing teeth has a different psychological effect on different people. It's just the opposite for her.
