For example, the bacteria that manage to live in the highly acidic stomach are primarily different from the bacteria that set up shop in the more-or-less neutral mouth. Anything that goes into the mouth can change the environmental conditions and throw the microbiome off balance. Everyone in the study had at least mild gum disease to start, like nearly half the adult population 30 or older. After the second visit, it was clear that people who vape tended to have a symptom of gum disease called"clinical attachment loss," which is the physical separation of the gum from the tooth.The receding gums leave empty pockets where bacteria thrive, often leading to even worse gum disease.
This small protein isn't necessarily a"bad" molecule; it's a critical part of necessary immune responses to real threats and is used to treat some cancers. It can create severe consequences if it's hanging around for a long time and causing chronic inflammation.
