Most of us use a rinse every day — usually twice a day, right after we brush our teeth. But just the other day, as reported Evening Standard, American doctors discovered unexpectedly dangerous properties of such products. What is the matter?
Everyone knows that mouthwash protects against the growth of dangerous bacteria, prevents various unpleasant phenomena (for example, bleeding gums), and also freshens breath. It would seem that all this is good, but there is one "but". The experts said that the mouthwash destroys not only bacteria that are dangerous to health, but also those bacteria that protect the body from certain diseases - type XNUMX diabetes, as well as obesity. These are microbes that produce nitric oxide, which is involved in metabolic processes and the regulation of blood glucose levels.
Experts examined more than a thousand middle-aged Americans who were already obese and had a high risk of developing diabetes. It turned out that the risk of developing diseases sharply increased in those who used mouthwash - up to 55% probability when used twice a day. But experts, diabetologists say that it is too early to draw conclusions, perhaps the rinse simply should not be abused.
