    No it doesn't. Don't bother the rumors.

    That's bull crap. I have been using it since childhood. Nothing of that sort happened to me.

    Not likely I guess, since many people are using it including me, and we all have no problem with it.

    If anything it should prevent cancer. It kills bacteria, preventing infection - which causes mouth cancer, among other triggers.

    If it concerns you, get a non alcohol mouthwash. e.g Colgate Plax Alcohol Free.
