Consuming a small amount is unlikely to have any effect on you, but a larger amount could have an intoxicating effect. Scope is a brand of mouthwash made by Procter & Gamble. [1] It was introduced in 1966, and for many years has been a competitor of Listerine, the longtime dominant mouthwash product. [2] The Scope has collaborated with other brands such as Crest and Oral-B. Alcohol is one of the most common mouthwash ingredients. The thought is that alcohol kills bacteria that cause diseases in the mouth, but alcohol in mouthwash isn’t the active ingredient. Alcohol is present to help diffuse other active ingredients, like essential oils.

Participants were asked to refrain from eating and smoking at least 20 min prior to sample collection. All OMNIgene samples were collected before mouthwash samples by spitting into a pre-labeled tube until the amount of saliva reached the “fill line”. The cap was closed to release the preservative solution and mixed. Next, the participant used 10 mL of Scope mouthwash to swish for 5 s and gargle for 5 s three times each for a total of 30 s before spitting into a pre-labeled collection cup. Two 1.8 mL aliquots were created from the Scope mouthwash samples. The first was frozen immediately at -80 °C while second aliquot was kept at room temperature for 96 h (day-4) and then stored at -80 °C. After collection, OMNIgene tubes were processed according to DNAGenotek’s aliquoting protocol ( https://www.dnagenotek.com/us/pdf/PD-PR-00214.pdf). Briefly, the OMNIgene funnel cap was replaced with the standard cap and then the tube was vigorously shaken for 8 s or longer by hand. Prior to aliquoting and freezing, the sample was incubated at 50 °C for 1 h in a water bath or for 2 h in an air incubator. After incubation, two 1.0 mL aliquots were frozen immediately at -80 °C (day-0). DNA extraction and sequencing

A summary of the population characteristics, collection methods, and number of microbial samples used for each method is outlined in Table 1 and in the participant study flowchart (Additional file 1 Fig. S4). The GCS and PERSIAN cohorts were described previously [ 17, 18]. In brief, the GCS consists of 50,045 participants aged 40–75 years, who were sampled from the urban area of Gonbad City ( n = 10,032) and surrounding rural areas ( n = 40,013) from January 2004–June 2008 [ 18]. The PERSIAN cohort has accrued approximately 165,000 participants since 2014 and is still accruing participants with the aim to include 180,000 Iranians aged 35–71 years from 18 geographic areas in Iran [ 17]. For the GCS, the inclusion criteria were comprised of not having a current or previous diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal cancer and not being a temporary resident of the area. For the PERSIAN Cohort, the inclusion criteria included being of Iranian descent, living in the study area for at least 6 months, and not having any physical or psychological disability that would prevent them from completing the enrollment process. 50 participants (25 male and 25 female) were randomly selected from Gonbad for GCS and Yazd for the PERSIAN cohort to participate in a pilot study to measure their fecal and oral microbiota. The final analytic cohort consisted of 84 individuals with a participation rate of 84%. Possible reasons for not completing the sample collection ranged from worry about the sampling ( n = 9), inability to complete the sample procedures ( n = 0), not having enough time (n = 1), or unknown ( n = 6). Basic demographic information such as age and sex were collected via questionnaire at the time of sample collection. The GCS was approved by the ethical review committees of the Digestive Disease Research Center of Tehran University Medical Science, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the United States National Cancer Institute. The PERSIAN Cohort received approval from the ethics committees of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, the Digestive Disease Research Institute (Tehran University of Medical Sciences), and each participating university.
