a new study has found sufficent evidence implicating alcohol containing mouth washes in oral cancer...an australian scientist whose findings was published in the dental journal of australia said some mouthwashes were more dangerous than wine or beer because they contained higher concentration of alcohol, as high as 26% .
the alcohol in mouthwash allows cancer causing substances such as nicotine to penetrate the lining of the mouth easily.
it result in a toxic breakdown product of alcohol called acetaldehyde-another carcinogen - which can accumulate in the oral cavity when swished around the mouth.

Well I hope all the people who smoke read this. I told someone at my job that everything in this stinking world is unhealthy for you. Mouthwash kills bad germs, but now it can lead to cancer. There is a side effect for everything. Is their any reasaon why the hell we are even on this stinking planet. A freind of mine started a discussion about which commercials tick you off. I talked about the ones about all the different types of pills you take. Like the pill that's supposed to help reduce mens prostate cancer. I think one of the side effects is stomach pain and decrease in semen. Either it's that or metalic taste of the mouth and upset stomach. I trully believe that there is nothing in this world that is good for us anymore.
