Experimental gum cuts HPV by 93
Researchers in the United States have developed an experimental probiotic gum that has demonstrated the ability to reduce levels of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in saliva by up to 93%. The gum is based on a natural antiviral protein extracted from ivy seeds and contains an antimicrobial peptide that significantly lowers bacteria associated with oral cancers while preserving beneficial bacteria in the mouth. The results suggest that the gum could be a promising tool for reducing the transmission of HPV and lowering the risk of head and neck cancers. However, it is still in laboratory testing stages and requires broader clinical studies to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment or preventative measure.
