The ENT brought up long-term use of cinnamon as another suspect. Has anyone heard of this? He claims that prolonged exposure to cinnamon as in chewing gum constantly in the mouth could be a contributor to oral cancer. I was interested in this, especially after chewing 2-3 packs a day for 10-15 years. It seems like something new every day.
