As long as its a rinse thats fine, you shouldn't brush your teeth immediately after. You probably don't have to do anything special, your saliva is surprising effective at repairing trivial damage from minor acids as long as you g

If I open my own line of home improvement stores and do no oversight on what I sell and wind up selling really dangerous lawnmowers, I'm partly responsible. Or if I open up a gas station and allow any company without oversight to sell

Also, a lot of it makes no sense. Bonobos is listed as "Avoid" because it was bought out, not because the product was made worse in any way. Some entries have reasoning about avoiding because the product was made worse, but most a
