The culture of fresh breath
Bothered by bad breath? Try eating natural yoghurt. Researchers in Japan got 24 volunteers to go from eating no yoghurt at all ( or similar foods such as cheese) to eating 90gm of natural yoghurt, containing the bacteris Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, twice a day for 6 weeks. By the end, the levels of hydrogen sulphide, a chief odour-causing compound, had dropped in 80 percent of those who suffered bad breath.
"Sugar free yoghurt is a healty snack, so it's good to hear it has oral benefits too" says Dr Nigel Carter of the British Dental Health Foundation. "But the best way to tackle bad breath is still brushing, flossing and avoiding sugary snack."
