Scientists from Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, found that the use of Listerine Cool Mint mouthwash can increase the risk of prevalence of bacteria linked to esophageal and colorectal cancer.The study, conducted to investigate the impact of daily mouthwash use on STI risk in 59 gay men, found the presence of bacteria - Fusobacterium nucleatum and Streptococcus anginosus in their mouths.

比利时安特卫普热带医学研究所的科学家发现，使用李斯特林清凉薄荷漱口水会增加食道癌和结直肠癌相关细菌流行的风险。这项研究旨在调查59名男同性恋者每天使用漱口水对性病风险的影响，发现他们的口腔中存在细菌-核梭杆菌和血管链球菌。

Professor Chris Kenyon, told the Daily Telegraph, 'Most people should not be using it and if they do use it, they should use the preparations without alcohol and limit the use to a couple of days.'During the research, published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology, participants used Listerine daily for three months followed by three months of placebo mouthwash or vice versa.'Listerine use was associated with an increased abundance of common oral opportunistic bacteria previously reported to be enriched in periodontal diseases, esophageal and colorectal cancer, and systemic diseases,' the authors stated.Researchers also noticed a decrease in Actinobacteria, which have previously been found to be regulator of blood pressure..

克里斯·凯尼恩教授告诉《每日电讯报》，“大多数人不应该使用它，如果他们确实使用它，他们应该使用不含酒精的制剂，并限制使用几天。”在这项发表在《医学微生物学杂志》上的研究中，参与者每天使用利斯特林三个月，然后使用安慰剂漱口液三个月，反之亦然作者指出，李斯特林的使用与先前报道的常见口腔机会细菌的丰度增加有关，这些细菌富含牙周疾病，食道癌和结直肠癌以及全身性疾病。研究人员还注意到放线菌的减少，以前发现放线菌可以调节血压。。

Despite testing only Listerine during the study, the scientists said that similar impact would be also seen in other alcohol-based mouthwashes.Dr Jolein Laumen, first author of the study, commented, 'Alcohol-based mouthwashes are widely available. The public may use them daily to tackle bad breath or prevent periodontitis, but they should be aware of the potential implications'.'Ideally, long-term usage should be guided by healthcare professionals,' he added.In a response to the claims, Kenvue, which owns the Listerine brand, told the Telegraph, 'Kenvue welcomes and encourages scientific advancements and exchanges to promote everyday health'.'Based on our initial review, the published trial lacks several important design controls and adequate rigour to make any conclusions about potential impact to human.'

尽管在研究期间只测试了李斯特林，但科学家表示，其他含酒精的漱口水也会产生类似的影响。该研究的第一作者JoleinLaumen博士评论道：“酒精漱口水随处可见。公众可能每天使用它们来解决口臭或预防牙周炎，但他们应该意识到潜在的影响。”他补充说，理想情况下，长期使用应该由医疗保健专业人员指导。作为对这些说法的回应，李斯特林品牌的所有者Kenvue告诉《每日电讯报》，“Kenvue欢迎并鼓励科学进步和交流，以促进日常健康。”如需评论和反馈，请联系：editorial@rttnews.comBusiness。
