Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Does this hold true for anyone else? My three worst breath enemies are 1) dairy, (especially greasy cheese), 2) alcohol, it seems to dry out my mouth and magnify BB and 3) too much protein/carbs, like meat and bread.

I seem to always have somewhat BB, sometimes controllable by eating oranges or chewing non-mint gum (minty flavors make it really weird) but when I eat greasy cheese of any kind it only takes a few minutes and I am actually able to smell this sickening ammonia bathroom cleaner chemical smell. And usually I can not smell my own BB, so for me to be able to I imagine its horrid for those around me. It seems to be coming from mouth and nostrils and stays for a good three hours or so. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yep, same here.

I'll add to the list of worst food: pasta and corn

Not sure about protein or carbs, but I agree with dairy and alcohol. It's difficult to isolate protein and carbs from the diet, thus hard to judge whether they really contribute, or whether it's another factor. For me, definitely cutting out the dairy and alcohol make a difference. I'd probably add sugar and fried foods to that list.

My problem is that I refuse to not eat meat and carbs, so I'll never know.

fried stake and pizza, daiy, alchohol,.....stink bomb

it's the protein in the cheese.....the vsc's use the protein to produce the odor.....veggies and water
