Re: Day 10

I am sorry, but anything other than water in your mouth will trigger your digestive system to be active, that includes salivary glands, this is where digestion starts.
The active ingredients listed on Listerine bottles are essential oils which are menthol 0.042%, thymol 0.064%, methyl salicylate 0.06%, and eucalyptol 0.092%.[13] In combination all have an antiseptic effect and there is some thought that methyl salicylate may have an anti inflammatory effect as well.[14] Ethanol, which is toxic to bacteria at concentrations of 40%, is present in concentrations of 21.6% in the flavored product and 26.9% in the original gold Listerine Antiseptic.[15] At this concentration, the ethanol serves to dissolve the active ingredients.

More....
Ethanol also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with the structural formula CH 3CH 2OH. It is commonly referred to simply as alcohol or spirits. Ethanol is the principal type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, produced by the fermentation of sugars by yeasts. It is a psychoactive drug and one of the oldest recreational drugs still used by humans. It can cause alcohol intoxication when consumed to excess. It is used in thermometers, as a solvent, as an antiseptic and as a fuel, yes used in cars.

Who in their right mind would put such a thing in their mouth even when not on fast, let alone when fasting.

Just clean your tongue with tongue scraper and gargle with warm water. Even Sea Salt gargles are not recommended.

Sorry for along essay.
