Abstract
About 80% of bad breath popularly called mouth odour is caused by the release of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) from the mouth. This is one of the major gases given out by bacteria as they respire, and it smells like rotten eggs. The good news is that, based on the recent research that was shared during the International Association for Dental Research, it was found out that, sugarless yoghurt can reduce level of hydrogen sulfide in the mouth. According to the latest update on the Kick The Bad Breath official website, the percentage case of chronic bad breath worldwide is between 35% – 45% while 99% have dragon bad breath in the morning after wake. Participants ate about 3 ounces of sugarless yoghurt twice a day for six months period. At the end, it was found that hydrogen sulfide level was significantly cut down in 80% of the participants. Scientists believe that the active bacteria have effectively eliminated the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath in the mouth. However, understanding why the body produces breadth that is bad or why this sometimes happens to probably everyone on the planet at one time or the other is a vital part of fixing the problem hence, addressing it.
