Twitter Nick Jack Pappas@Pappiness Why do people care if 9 out of 10 dentists recommend a toothpaste brand? Dentists make more money when you have bad teeth. I want a toothpaste recommended by 9 out of 10 health insurance companies.

They might not be buying the toothpaste, but they may very well be in partnership with or owned by the same people as the toothpaste company. I'm sure they know the brand of toothpaste you use makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things, and if they were to recommend one it wouldn't be because they're wanting what's best for you, but because some money exchanged hands.
