I came across a forum tonight all about natural medicine. You can find it by clicking here: health forum. I'm always interested in reading about the latest cures as well as possible causes of cancer. Something we're doing or something in our environment has got to be causing it. It's everywhere!
Anyway, as I was browsing the forum (do I sound like a nerd or what?!), I found a topic claiming that mouthwash causes oral cancer.
Most mouthwashes, such as Listerine, contain over 25% alcohol and apparently using alcohol-containing mouthwashes daily raise the risk of developing cancers of the mouth, pharynx and larynx 400 to 500 percent! Smoke and/or drink? You're at a 900 percent increase risk of cancer. 900 percent?! Say it ain't so! That's crazy!
Any doctors out there? True or false? Whatever the case, I'm buying alcohol-free Listerine tomorrow!
