But definitely NOT the fauxinne....no no no. PIVOT
Bad dental hygiene for sure!
“”Our findings suggest that maintaining good oral hygiene — through regular brushing, flossing, and dental care — is critical,” Ahn added. “This is a modifiable factor for pancreatic cancer prevention.””
Key takeaway. This is a good idea anyway.

The people around you and your loved ones all agree — good oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and dental care is a good thing. Your health will thank you.
I used turkey hunt with a dentist.
Our late night beer talks opened my mind.
Heart health especially is influenced by oral bacteria and enzymes.
This story is not a surprise.
Brush and floss daily.
I highly recommend the stainless steel tongue scraper, a lot of gross stuff clings to your tongue.
Then pancreatic cancer would be rampant among the British citizenry.
I use a plastic one with a wide, short-bristle brush.
I had a bout of oral thrush (an oral candida yeast overgrowth infection) earlier this year. Yuck, bad stuff. Brushing the tongue is a key to restoring oral balance.
Morning and evening gargle, swish and swallow with Colloidal silver , 20 PPM has had many of my dentists over the years amazed at my lack of plaque and excellent gum condition. Been at it over 20 years.

Are these different from the ones causing Alzheimers? This is beginning to look like the great trace metal chase of the ‘70’s.
That’s it! I’m getting a mouthecotomy!
I am sitting here shaking my head. My wife brushes and flosses after every meal. It can be tedious when on a trip.
She got PC.
I guess her mouth wasn’t the cause. LOL
(She has been cancer free for 6 years now.)
Good to hear she is cancer free and good wishes for continued good health.
“I had a bout of oral thrush (an oral candida yeast overgrowth infection) earlier this year. “
I’m dealing with my second bout in 3 months . First started before I was diagnosed with nocardiosis which I was hospitalized for and haven’t fully recovered from yet . 2nd bout started earlier this week . Had a Dr’s appt. yesterday and told him about it . Once again he prescribed a bottle of Fungizone syrup . I brush , floss and gargle after every meal and see a dentist regularly . Unsure of cause of the oral thrush . Weakened immunhttps://www.rad-ar.or.jp/siori/english/search/result?n=47294e system from the nocardia ? Antibiotics side effect ?
I sympathize. It’s bad with changes in taste and tongue tingly sensation. Not the end of the world, but really annoying. My doc prescribed Nystatin Oral Suspension, but it didn’t seem to do a thing. I had Hep B 50 years ago and the docs are worried about any anti-fungal medicine degrading my liver, so that’s out.
I have had three bouts of COVID, most recent summer 2024, and the last bout led to a bunch of immune system problems. It provoked pulmonary embolisms! I never had blood clots in my life. I wonder if there might be a connection of the thrush to COVID-caused immune problems.
I just really stepped up brushing and scrubbing my tongue and that seems to have resolved it.
I never heard of nocardiosis before so just looked it up. Sounds like a nasty and rare opportunistic infection. Like you said it can attack immunocompromised individuals.
I hope you lick all these things!
