Remember "chocolate is good for you"? Turns out that: "While research shows that cocoa can have a beneficial effect with regards to maintaining healthy vascular tone and insulin sensitivity, the reverse is true for sugar. Eating sweetened chocolate is still not good for you." [1] Yet plenty of people seem to have fallen over each other to share that article (and this article). It seems anything that says you can have your cake and eat it too will have plenty of social media shares. In this case, it looks like flossing may be lightly studied, but is still good for us. Perhaps we can change that famous old adage to, "if it sounds too good to be true, it's probably clickbait". Here's another piece of research on flossing, "In regression analyses, brushing thoroughness, flossing ability and frequency, and dental visit frequency were predictors of lower plaque, gingivitis, and calculus scores. In turn, these scores were predictors of shallower pocket depths and less attachment loss." [2] That's on a study of 319 people, flossing regularity is based on surveys and dental health based on examinations.
