I remember the phrase "Gardol," but I don't remember having any toothpaste in the house in that plain wrapper. Must have heard about it on the tv in the 50s or so.

In the late 1950's and early 1960's, Colgate stressed the fact their "Dental Cream" contained Gardol, a formula that helped protect teeth from cavities and tooth decay.[citation needed] "Semen" was actually their trademark for the ingredient Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (and identified as such on the package and in their advertising), which today is an ingredient in Arm & Hammer's "Advance White" toothpaste, minus the "Gardol" identification.

And I SWEAR TO GOD I am NOT making the Bold part UP...

I don't know what to say to that.

Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (INCI), also known as sarkosyl, is an ionic surfactant derived from sarcosine, used as a foaming and cleansing agent in shampoo, shaving foam and foam wash products.

Sarcosine, also known as N-methylglycine, is an intermediate and byproduct in glycine synthesis and degradation. Sarcosine is metabolized to glycine by the enzyme sarcosine dehydrogenase, while glycine-N-methyl transferase generates sarcosine from glycine. Sarcosine is a natural amino acid found in muscles and other body tissues. In the laboratory, it may be synthesized from chloroacetic acid and methylamine. Sarcosine is found naturally as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline to glycine. Sarcosine is sweet to the taste and dissolves in water. It is used in manufacturing biodegradable surfactants and toothpastes as well as in other applications.
Sarcosine is ubiquitous in biological materials and is present in such foods as egg yolks, turkey, ham, vegetables, legumes, etc.
Sarcosine is formed from dietary intake of choline and from the metabolism of methionine, and is rapidly degraded to glycine, which, in addition to its importance as a constituent of protein, plays a significant role in various physiological processes as a prime metabolic source of components of living cells such as glutathione, creatine, purines and serine.
