huh i wonder if it really helps whiten teeth

Yes, it can, of course, help whiten teeth (it's what those teeth whiteners do that are expensive). On the down side, it can make your teeth more sensitive.

It can also be a bit drying to the mouth, so don't overuse it.

Oh yeah...that email has been circulating for a while. There's more info on Snopes about it:

snopes.com: Hydrogen Peroxide

Did you read where snopes points out that soaking a wound with it wouldn't be good? Interesting, because I had an infection then a minor operation on my foot about 15 years ago, and my Dr. told me to soak it 3 times a day for 15 mins. each.
