A HEALTHY mouth is now being regarded as key to a healthy body

A HEALTHY mouth is now being regarded as key to a healthy body. Poor dental hygiene has been linked to many illnesses, including diabetes and chronic heart disease – recent research suggests gammy gums are responsible for narrowing of the blood vessels, which is fatal in 30% of cases. Scientists now believe the bugs responsible for gum disease may have a role to play in the development of bowel cancer following the discovery of an abnormally large number of fusobacterium in colorectal tumour samples. Around 35,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year and sadly one in 10 die within a month of diagnosis.

I wish they would make up their mind it has just been announced that dental decay isn't the cause of diabetes etc as their are links with the class of people who let decay happen also have poor regard to a healthy life style. As for bowel cancer, I know one person who had dentures in his twenties and he still got cancer of the
bowel.
