anyone heard of this. This is an exerpt from an article on breezecare.com. Most of it is rubbish but this part caught my attention:

Walsh also cites non-dental causes of bad breath, such as post-nasal drip, chronic tonsillitis, gastric reflux and a rare condition called Zenker's diverticulum, a pouch at the top of the oesophagus in which food can get caught.
