A question for a friend who is concerned about her tongue being?

so white all the time, even though she brushes it regularly. She is wondering if it means she is lacking some vitamin. Does anyone know if this is a myth?

The bleach from the toothpaste is probably what's making her tongue white not a vitamin deficiency.

She might check on her diet. Is the white a coating on the tongue, which I suspect would be yeast.Yeast is very common, specially with todays diet.There are products on the market that are designed specifically for yeast, Three Lac has such a product.As well as taking something for the yeast she would need to modify her diet, reducing sugar and other foods that feed the yeast.
