Oral cancer occupies the sixth place in the list of common cancer affecting men around the world today. Most of the time it was detected late and on its advance stage. Factors that said to be the underlying cause of oral cancer are smoking, human papilloma virus, gender and age and adding to the list is heavy drinking.
Mouthwashes containing alcohol can cause oral cancer and should be removed from supermarket shelves, a dental health study claims. Scientists say there is now “sufficient evidence” that such mouthwashes contribute to an increased risk of the disease.
