2.Using mouthwash more than two times in a day
A new research state in the Journal 'Nitric Oxide' says that people who use over-the-counter mouthwash2 times or more every day are at an increased risk of getting Type 2 diabetes. Shocked to know? So are we. But there is an explanation for the same.
3.How
The mouthwash that we do to maintain dental health is basically is an anti-microbial in nature. It does not distinguish between good and bad microbes and finishes them all. In short, mouthwash is antiseptic in nature.
4.The process
The gastrointestinal tract then turns it into nitric oxide (NO) which is an essential molecule. It is necessary as it regulates the insulin level which keeps the blood sugar level in check. Not only the nitric oxide, it also regulates metabolism and energy levels.
5.The research
A study organized in the year 2013 observed people who used mouthwash more than two times a day for seven days continuously. Which reduced their oral nitrate production by 90 percent and the blood nitrate levels by 25 per cent. As mouthwash kills the useful microbes, it could be making way for the harmful ones.
