The risk of diabetes can increase with the use of mouthwash

Researchers have warned that those who use mouthwash regularly may increase the risk of diabetes.

Researchers from America's Harvard University found that cleansing of mouth from bacterial fluid could help prevent bacteria in the mouth and protect against obesity and diabetes. Researchers include an Indian origin researcher.

They found that those who use mouthwash twice a day, the risk of diabetes or dangerous blood sugar is likely to increase by about 55 percent.

Professor Kaumudi Joshipura said at Harvard School of Public Health that most anti-bacterial components in mouthwash are not selective.

The Telegraph wrote with reference to the Kaumudi, in other words, they do not target the specific bacteria of the mouth - instead, they can take action on bacteria at a broader level.

This study is published in the journal Nitric Oxide. In the study, 1,206 obese persons of 40 and 65 years of age were included, in which the risk of diabetes is high.

According to the community, these helpful bacteria in the mouth can protect against diabetes and obesity. Among them are bacteria that can help in producing nitric oxide in the body to control insulin levels.

Nitric oxide is important in controlling metabolism, keeping energy control and blood sugar levels balanced.
