What Is A Favorite Food that Helps Halitosis Bad Breath?
I love sugar. More specifically, I love chocolate, and I love cheese cake, and then there is creme brule, and peanut butter cups, strawberry shortcake, and, and, and…. You’ve heard all of the bad stuff about sugar – bad for teeth, bad for weight, some debate about skin, bad for energy, bad for health. Here it comes —- now sugar causes bad breath.
Some foods are extra good at being fuel for the bacteria in you mouth. Sugar is one of those foods. The bacteria love it. They thrive and reproduce, making more bacteria, and at the same time, each and every one of the bacteria digest the sugars to create the stinky sulfur compound waste products that make your breath stink.
Besides that fine bit of halitosis help, there are other bacteria in your mouth that use sugars to create stuff, called glycan strands, that cause layers of plaque to build up on your teeth and at the gum line. The layers of plaque provide a great home for more bad breath causing bacteria. Not only that, the plaque can lead to gum disease and to tooth decay, which also create bad breath problems of their own.
So, sweets lover or not, sugar is one of those bad breath causes. How about sugar substitutes? Sorry, aspartame is just another cause of bad breath, too. Bummer.
