Probably the most perfect, medical science rich, article we could have hoped for - on the myriad benefits of a simple tongue scrape ... 

Dr Bryan, a specialist in molecular medicine from Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, contributed the science ...

Whilst we contributed the backstory ... the 'apple on the head moment'

"Company Director Mano Manoharan starting making AMANO Tongue Scrapers in the early Nineties after late nights at work as a record company executive left him with a coated, furry tongue. After a friend gave him a (cheap Indian) scraper, he noticed a dramatic improvement"

We also really liked the closing bit;

"If Nathan Bryan is right, then a tongue scraper could soon be as much a feature of the bathroom cabinet as anti-ageing potions"
