Changes in the oral microbiome have been linked to high blood pressure and increased risk of diabetes.

By killing off the bacteria in the mouth, antibacterial mouthwashes are hindering our ability to create nitric oxide: an essential gas that keeps blood pressure down and keeps insulin working – two things that, when compromised, lead to increased blood sugar and risk for diabetes.

We know that high blood pressure and diabetes are precursors to metabolic diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, so think twice before freshening your breath with an antibacterial mouthwash.
