SUSHI BREATH?

[stressedout]

First of all, sorry Asian folks - no offence. This is just for my informative knowledge.

Does anyone know what I am talking about-

The type of Bad Breath that is very intense, and mostly likely doesn’t necessary come from the mouth only (deeper cause). As i remember i first encountered such breath when an Asian person talked nearby, or by walking into a sushi restaurant - the space was all filled out with it.

My father had this type of BB a while back, i noticed when he was breathing out through his nose and i was next to him.

Wondering if it has anything to do with eating sushi (maybe parasite infection) or something that is found in Asian cuisine...

Do you know what I am talking about? Hard to describe it, but it must be the worst type of BB out there. Anyone knows the cause of it?

I've noticed in terms of muslims during and after ramadam, for obvious reasons.... fasting aint good for your breath

lol, i don't know which bad breath can be worse than having a person think that you just ate poop. I doubt any sort of "asian bad breath" get the level that has been described here.

It is a very specific BB, it fills up the room. Im not sure but it might be rotten egg. One encounters the smell once and can never forget it.

Im not talking about fasting, or implying different races have different BB, but this specific one I have noticed more with Asians. If you are a sushi eater, you would have at least smelled it once in your lifetime in a sushi restaurant, its indeed a rotten smell.

Im sure this person is talking about the same thing, just like me he is not good at describing it, and the person who answers takes defence and mentions oral hygiene.

It could very well has a link to Asian diet.

Asian diets like curry and such spices tend to cause asians to smell of this food, coming out of their skin etc. If that person smells of their diet and then had the kind of BB that most people describe on here, its gonna smell of shit etc, but with a hint of the spicy diet mixed in with it.
That's what I think anyway cos I've known an asian guy who used to get intermittent BB and it sounds similar to the kind of odours you are talking about.

For some reason im wondering if has anything to do with raw sea food (mercury poisoning).

Not so sure on the curry - they say turmeric is good to fight BB, and curry fights cancer.

.... I think fish is the single worst thing for my own BB so this does kinds make sense

[Haligone]

why dont you talk about your own BB?

[hopelessone]

i'm not Asian, but when i used to eat a lot of onions and garlic, the smell would come out of my pores, sorta'....

[stressedout]

hopelessone,

thats not BB, thats a temp thing that goes away.

[hopelessone]

i know it's not bb, but it may have a connection, because if you have certain substances in your system, it could come out through yer pores AND yer breath via lungs, depending what thje substances are.

I know

[stressedout]

thanatos,

yeah i tend to think it gotta be the diet, it just smells too specific, wish to know what it is in the diet that would cause it.

I definately notice this kind of bad breath. I even seemed to think Im suffering bb because when I was younger I teased chineses kids about how they smelled. and I never eat chinese food because of it either. Chinese kids in school definately had their own smell

I`ve always thought that the majority of sufferers here are caucasian. Now you talk like only the asians have bb or like they have the worst breath in the world. That`s racist. What do you guys think caused your bb, I don`t think you even eat the asian diet. For your information, the asian diet is diverse. Koreans, Thai, Indians, Malaysians like it spicy but I don`t think the majority of them complain of bb. I had friends who eat spicy foods(thai in particular) almost everyday but I never see them worrying over bad breath. I think this thread is nonsense. You guys just want to make yourselves feel better by thinking that there are people who have worse breath than yours.

Btw, I`m Filipino- Chinese- Japanese- Spanish so I`m really offended with this thread. I don`t see the point of studying the cause of our bb. What good will that do to you? You obviously have a different diet & with the way you say it you have better breath.
