Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

(joke/serious thread) from Bruce lee.. he said something that goes like this "if you put water into a cup it becomes the cup"

how that comment relate to some of us? well when i brush my breath feel fresh for a couple of mins but if you don't eat or you eat something you gain the odor of what you ate.

we need to be the water and become the cup.. we need to eat something that smells nice.
since we can't eat flowers and air.. what can we eat that smells nice or taste nice?

cherrys?

gum is no good because you get the bad breath + gum = bad.

pizza, hot fresh donuts, bbq all smell and taste nice to me.

i love logic and can tell you right away that this analogy doesnt work.

first let's define the bases. if our bodies were cups they would be extremly dirty/infected cups.

if you pour slop into it, it will smell like the slop + dirty cup. if you pour something neutral into it (water/air), it will smell like a plain dirty cup, and soon, when the contents are infected they are negated. what we have been trying to do all our lives is pour in something that specifially treats the dirty cup. so in this case you got battles between the strength of the solution versus the strength of the dirt in the cup. we all know what wins out.

yea but not all of us are scientist or have enough money to get proper threatments. while we are on that mission to find a solution we need an alternative.

when you put something sweet in a dirty cup it will smell sweet unless you taste it. when i eat some sweet fruit like cherry's my breath smells ok. i rather if someone smells my breath to smell cherrys than smell my plain bad breath cause it smells just like plain dead rat or something lol.

even if miracoulosly (not sure if spell right) you or i were to kiss someone what you rather them taste your breath or something sweet?

btw pizza is bad.

pizza and bbq is bad for the breath though.

reason i say gum don't work is because they just make the hot breath a bit cold but leave you tasting the same as before.

another thing that make my breath smell ok or a good taste is milk but only for a few hours.
