Butterscotch Candies Ease "Tinny" Mouth From Chemo

To cut the metallic taste in the mouth that's one of the most complained-about side effects of chemotherapy treatment for cancer, doctors often suggest sucking on hard candy.

Experiment to find out which ones work best for you, then keep them stashed in pockets and around the house.
