漱口水用太多可能会影响心脏健康

Swilling¹ mouthwash each morning could raise your risk of heart disease, one of the world's leading experts claims. , ,一位世界顶尖的专家称，每天早上用漱口水漱口会增加患心脏病的风险。, ,Dr Nathan Bryan, based at the University of Texas, Austin, studies the role nitric oxide ² - which helps cells communicate - plays in the body's vital organs. , ,He said daily rinsing ³ and gargling, which is meant to eliminate bad breath, also rids the body of the important molecule ⁴. , ,The bacteria it kills provide the body with a constant supply of nitric oxide, which controls and regulates blood pressure. , ,Controlling blood pressure is known to be key to preventing cardiovascular disease - the world's leading killer ⁵, and strokes. , ,But Dr Bryan also said that poor oral hygiene ⁶, such as not using mouthwash, also disrupts the production of nitric oxide. , ,He made the claim in a lecture at the American Naturopathic Medical Association's 36th Annual Convention in Las Vegas. , ,Dr Bryan told attendees: 'Recent discoveries reveal that oral bacteria provide the human body with continuous sources of nitric oxide. , ,'Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules ⁷ produced in the human body. It controls and regulates blood pressure and is a major factor in preventing CVD.'
