My husband was a heavy Listerine user for years. I, too, have wondered if it was one of several factors in his cancer. Not only does it contain alcohol that you hold in your mouth and swish around, but it makes sense that the drying effects could be a factor. (My husband is a non-smoker and very light drinker). I wonder - as did David - if Listerine affects even those who attribute their cancer to HPV (additively, etc.).
