Mouthwash Boost Oral Cancer Risk by 900%, Study Finds

This is NEWS to me but not surprising. I found this tonight on NaturalNews.com

The ethanol in many mouthwash products accelerates the absorption of cancer-causing chemicals in popular mouthwash products, reveals a study from the University of Melbourne, Australia. People who regularly use such mouthwash products are boosting their risk of oral cancers by an astonishing 900 percent, the study reveals.
The study was conducted by Professor Michael McCullough, chair of the Australian Dental Association's therapeutics committee. It revealed the 900 percent risk in cancer applied only to smokers, but that the cancer wasn't limited to merely oral cancer: It also boosted the risk of head and neck cancers.

Alcohol drinkers experienced a 500 percent boost in cancer from the regular use of mouthwash products, the study found.

Within hours after the release of this study, manufacturers of popular mouthwash products -- such as Johnson & Johnson -- blasted it, saying there is "no evidence" linking mouthwash products to oral cancer.

At least in their own minds, that is. Maybe they're haven't read the study yet.
