"Oral cancer is a gruelling and mutilating disease that afflicts more than 800 Australians each year and kills half of them within five years of being diagnosed.

Smoking and alcohol consumption are well-established risk factors, but alcohol-containing mouthwash use is more controversial.

Prof McCullough and co-author Dr Camile Farah, director of research at the University of Queensland's School of Dentistry, recommended mouthwash be restricted to ``short-term'' medical use or replaced by alcohol-free versions.

"(We) further feel it is inadvisable for oral health-care professionals to recommend the long-term use of alcohol-containing mouthwashes,'' they concluded.

The review reported evidence from an international study of 3210 people which found daily mouthwash use was a "significant risk factor'' for head and neck cancer, irrespective of whether users also drank alcohol or smoked.

But the effects of mouthwash were worst in smokers, who had a nine-fold increased risk of cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx.

Those who also drank alcohol had more than five times the risk - and even those who neither drank nor smoked still ran a four- to five-fold risk of contracting cancer.

A Brazilian study has also found regular mouthwash use is associated with oral cancer regardless of alcohol or tobacco consumption."

Eating pussy can lead to throat cancer.

"So what is the virus that causes cervical cancer doing in my throat, creating a tumor on my tongue, leaching into my lymph nodes, threatening my larynx and my life? According to Dr. Gillison and others, the answer goes back to the late 1970s, when the medical community began to notice the spread of HPV. 'It is linked to a change in sexual habits,' she says simply."

"They say that the risk of contracting this cancer can be hundreds of times higher in people who've had more than five oral sex partners in their lifetime."
