Question 1

can i pass a mouth swab drug test with hard candy in my mouth?

Accepted Answer

I doubt it: You don't even tell us what drug your trying to avoid getting detected. We don't tell people how to beat drug tests. Who would want to hire someone who is actively abusing drugs? Get the help you need to stop whatever it is you are using. Drug abuse is an illness and is treatable, but you have to want the help.

Question 2

do nicotine gum and cinnamon candy affect the outcome of an oral swab drug test?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine maybe,: cinnamon no. If the oral swab test is looking for cigarette smoking, it measures either nicotine or its major metabolite cotinine (more commonly) and this will be found also in someone using nicotine gum. If they are looking for drugs of abuse, generally nicotine/cotinine are not tested for and will not alter the outcome.

Question 3

of i had candy in my mouth starburst and peanut butter would that affect my saliva mouth swab sent to the lab or can they still detect drugs even after flossing brushing teeth gums tongue and using mouth wash?

Accepted Answer

: No. There no ingredients in these products that would change the test results.

Question 5

is eating silver healthy for you? (like on indian candies and such)

Accepted Answer

Argyria: Silver does not occur regularly in human tissue, but can be absorbed from the lungs & GI tract. Silver sulfide forms an insoluble complex in elastic fibers, resulting in argyria. In generalized argyria, skin, eye involvement, lung & kidney lesions, arteriosclerosis may result. With colloidal silver, death may result from hemolysis, pulmonary edema. Think twice before eating a lot of silver.

Question 6

how can i stop candy cravings?

Accepted Answer

Just don't eat,: I know, easier said than done. But to avoid candy, which is really really tasty, you just have to have a lot of will power.  Candy is tasty and inexpensive and everywhere.  You just have to accept that candy is unhealthy and avoid it as much as you can.  Perhaps replace with other sweet foods, like healthy fruit.

Question 7

Question 9

how many candy canes does it take to die?

Accepted Answer

Ask the angels?: That's like asking "how many angels can dance in the head of a pin." 
Please seek urgent care if you are in anyway considering  harming yourself.

Question 10

how much candy is ok for kids to eat in one sitting?

Accepted Answer

Candy\ tooth decay: My brother had a great idea years ago. He would let his kids eat as much candy as they wanted but only at one sitting and only once per week. It's the amount of time that the candy is in contact with the teeth that causes tooth decay. Therefore limit it as much as possible but once per week regardless of amount is better that constantly all through the week. Sticky candies are worse that chocolate.
