00:00New study uncovers troubling link between oral health and aggressive cancer type.

00:05Scientists ask whether bacteria and fungi in our mouths, even in saliva,

00:10could signal risk for one of the deadliest diseases.

00:16Deep location and absent early symptoms keep survival low in advanced pancreatic cancer,

00:22pushing research toward non-invasive saliva biomarkers.

00:25A JAMA oncology analysis tracking more than 122,000 people found 445 cases over 9 years,

00:37comparing oral samples to controls.

00:43Porphyromonas gingivalis, Eubacterium nodatum, and Parvomonas micra,

00:48all gum disease pathogens, were linked to risk and highlight inflammation's role.

00:55Fungi were not innocent bystanders.

00:59Four oral species tied to higher risk suggest bacteria-fungi biofilms,

01:04influencing inflammation and immunity.

01:10Microbial risk scores unite multiple bacteria and fungi into a community profile,

01:15enabling saliva-based risk stratification.

01:18As cases rise, microbial markers could guide screening while brushing,

01:25flossing, and treating gum disease may help reduce harmful microbes.

01:33Oral and systemic health are linked.

01:35Gum disease correlates with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy issues.

01:40The mouth affects the whole body.

01:41Oil pulling, about a tablespoon of coconut oil for 10 to 15 minutes,

01:49shows antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

01:53Clove eugenol reduces bacteria and gum inflammation.
