🔬 Lab study: an antiviral chewing gum lowered cancer-linked germs in mouth samples

Early research: in the lab, extracts of a bean-based gum lowered HPV and two mouth bacteria linked to oral cancer in saliva and mouth-rinse samples from patients. No one chewed the gum in this study, and it did not measure cancer risk. The researchers say clinical trials are the next step, so it is not something to try or ask for yet.
