This is a YouTube video titled "Don't Drink Mouthwash." It features a conversation between Kenny Wu and Julia Galef discussing the negative effects of mouthwash on the oral microbiome, including its impact on nitric oxide forming bacteria and the resulting oral microbial dysbiosis. The content was created in July 2024 and focuses on health and microbiome science.
For years, if you've been following me, I've been saying, don't use mouthwash because it kills nitric oxide forming bacteria, it'll give you erectile dysfunction and it's bad for your vascular system. But it turns out when you really look at the data from half a million people and sequence what's going on in there, there's a whole new world that's not even about your poop.
Alcoholic mouthwash proudly say kills 99% of all the bacteria. And Goanna says, right. The fundamentally are completely decimating your oral microbiome. And when you have a decimated oral microbiome, you end up getting a oral microbial dysbiosis. And just like when you have the gut dysbiosis, you have a leaky gut. Now, when you have the same dysbiosis in your mouth, you have leaky gums, and leaky gums have the same problem.
