Beat Bad Breath Articles | Remedy

Do you have bad breath?  Well, new research reveals that bad breath could very well be a sign of deeper health issues, such as:

    * Tooth decay
    * Diabetes type 2
    * Oral cancer
    * Acid reflux
    * Allergies
    * Kidney failure
    * Acidosis
    * And Much More...

Bad breath is generally associated with poor oral hygiene.

If you’ve read “The Bad Breath Report” , you already know that hydrogen sulfide (which smells like rotten eggs!) is one of the main Volatile Sulfur Compounds, or “VSCs”, produced in 85-90% of bad breath cases.

In a study detailed at the 83rd General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, Dr. Kenichi Hojo of Tsurumi University in Yokohama, Japan, found that sugarless yogurt significantly reduced the levels of oral hydrogen sulfide in 80% of participants.

The 24 volunteers who partook in the study followed strict instructions on oral hygiene, diet and medication intake.  The participants first avoided all yogurts for 2 weeks and then had samples of VSCs taken from their mouths.  They then ate 90-grams (about 3 ounces) of sugarless yogurt twice-a-day for 6-weeks.

At the end of the study, more samples were taken and a significant reduction in hydrogen sulfide levels was discovered in 80% of participants.

It was postulated that active bacteria in the yogurt, specifically Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus effectively drowned-out the bacteria responsible for producing the hydrogen sulfide.

While that doesn’t effectively address the root cause of bad breath (as explained in “The Bad Breath Report”, it does show fighting bad breath doesn’t have to be unpleasant.  After all, what could be more pleasant than a pot of tasty yogurt every day!?
