I ran across an article that I thought was important to share. Heart disease is the leading killer in the world and any information on prevention would be helpful.
Yahoo news reported that smoking, obesity and high cholesterol are the most common culprits, but the new research shows that neglected gums can be added to the list.
You can read the article here http://news.yahoo.com/story//afp/20080910/hl_afp/healthdiseasehearthygie...
The information indicates that neglecting your gums can raise your risk of heart disease.
