Are your daily mouth fresheners secretly damaging your health?

Coated cardamom mouth fresheners often include ingredients like sugar, artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavorings. Dr. Saptarshi Bhattacharya from Indraprastha Apollo Hospital warns that certain varieties feature areca nut, or supari, which is known to be carcinogenic. Consistently chewing areca nut is associated with oral submucous fibrosis, a condition that causes the tissues within the mouth to become scarred and rigid. This condition is considered a pre-cancerous health issue.
