Halitosis, the more sophisticated term for 'bad breath', is embarrassing for the sufferer as well as his environment. The common solution for breath odor is to cover it up with mints--but of course that doesn't really change the condition. Now, a team of researchers from Tsurumi University in Yokohama, Japan, have found a real, all-natural remedy: Yogurt.
During the study, 24 volunteers were being fed 3 ounces of a specially concocted yogurt--sugar free, fermented with living cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus--twice a day for six weeks. After completion of the study, measured hydrogen sulfide levels had decreased in 80% of volunteers who had bad breath... and as a bonus, plaque and gingivitis were reduced, too.
