Bad Breath Be Gone

A surprising snack may help keep breath fresh.

A recent study reveals ordinary yogurt may help reduce hydrogen sulfide, an unpleasant-smelling compound that contributes to mouth odor. Look for plain, sugar-free varieties that contain live active cultures to help keep bad breath away.

Yogurt is a tart-tasting, semi-solid dairy product made from fermented milk.

For the Bad Breath Be Gone readers...The article states that yogurt "helps" get rid of the hydrogen sulfide. However, there are products available that also help get rid of the sulfides. Dr.Katz has a line of products that are very helpful. He's the author of the "Bad Breath Bible". You can find him on the net. Good luck.

Notice the title of this hint is "Bad breath be GONE" but yogurt only REDUCES the hydrogen sulfide part of bad breath odor. Leaving the rest of the hydrogen sulfide and the other odor causers intact. Misleading Title!

I have lost 124 lbs. From 301 to 178. From a size 50 to a size 34 and 36. So: See your dietitian. Listen and heed. Learn to know what you are eating. Practice good regular eating habits. Start a persistent exercise program. Don't give up. Follow through. Oh yes - one more thing! With God all things are possible.
