have a habit of eating Pan Parag. I consume a alot of it every day since the last couple of years. It doesn t have any tobacco though. I guess the ingerdients are catechu, lime and betel nuts. What sort of health side effects can this habit lead to. Can it lead to Cancer?
Beetel nuts/areca nuts and lime are potential irritants to the oral mucous membrane.They cause fibrosis of the cheek. This can cause a precancerous conditions and cancer at times. This will also reduce the mouth opening. This can cause dental decay,teeth stains, cardiac problems, gum diseases etc. Please QUIT any chewing habits and follow a healthy life style.
