Can it? Probably. Will it under normal use? Probably not.

Mustard is carcinogenic, so is pepper...

Mouthwash is pointless, anyhow. All it does is temporarily mask (and not well, at that) the smell of bad breath.

Instead of wasting time and money on mouthwash, invest in finding the true cause of your bad breath and fix it.

It's not just a polite phrase wishing one goodwill anymore, it's a way of life!

Cancer causes cancer man. Now on the news I'm watching they're saying that coffee is about the most beneficial drink us N.A drink because of it's new-found antioxidant properties and that grains cause cancer? Bottom line, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear, here.

The study wasn't carefully controlled. The correlation that people who use mouthwash and those who have gum cancer could have been attributed to the fact that those who use mouthwash more often are those who tend to smoke. And those who smoke definitely have a higher rate of gum cancer.
