What about just weed does it also kill cancer in your bladder?

I think only 16% of Finns leave the house daily, as well.

As someone with stage IV bladder cancer, this is encouraging.

Reply to New research analyses fake interaction services on social media. Researchers found that for less than 9 cents you can get 1000 views on TikTok, SoundCloud or Instagram/IGTV. Buying Instagram followers is more expensive: for 4.3 euros you can get 1000. by Wagamaga
That's really surprising to me. It's incredible how quickly and easily companies have found ways to inflate their social media numbers.

Yes, this is certainly encouraging news! It would be interesting to find out more about how large of a reduction we are talking here, as well as the further implications of this type of therapy for bladder cancer treatment.

How did the good OHS group compare to the better group?

I would not recommend ingesting it, only as a mouthwash.

Also it said mouthwash didn’t make a difference on top of just having good oral hygiene

Can't both be true?

Epidemiology cannot speak to causation, so you are jumping too far ahead. It can generate a hypothesis that can then be tested in a controlled trial. But asking people to self-report on habits over a long period is not going to tell us cause; it is going to tell us what every similar study does - that healthy people are healthy, and unhealthy people are unhealthy.
The healthy group in this case might be simply healthy because they care about being healthy - they are "adherers" or "compliers". There's a really fascinating study that was done in 1980 on a cholesterol drug called clofibrate, where the initial results were unspectacular when compared to placebo. The clofibrate showed no improvement over the placebo group in terms of mortality.
However, when those two groups were split again between "adherers" and non-adherers, the adherers in BOTH groups saw almost the exact same reduction in mortality that the mouthwash study saw - about 50%. This means in a placebo group, where no actual intervention was being taken, simply adhering to the instructions given by the study was enough to almost halve your mortality risk.

Oh dear, would not Xylitol hurt your gut flora if taken orally? I assume if used for just mouth washing it's not so bad, but there are loads of studies praising the role of healthy gut bacteria.

This study didn't dig that deep, but a similar study about alzheimers and oral hygiene speculated that bacteria can enter the bloodstream and end up in the brain. I think they may have been looking at the use of mouthwash with xylitol. I can't find that exact study now, but you might like these:https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190407144231.htm

Edit: I'm talking about mouthwash below. Edit 2: Keep xylitol away from your dog! It's fatal to them.
Xylitol is great, BTW. A scientist friend of mine said that bacteria absorb it like sugar, but can't metabolize it, so they die (that may be a massive oversimplification). More info here: https://orlcares.com/blogs/orl-cares-blog/exploring-the-science-behind-xylitol-s-cavity-fighting-power
