Foods to be able to Stay away from That Cause Bad Breath

Did you know that there are specific foods that could result in bad breath? This is because of volatile sulfur compounds - the culprit in producing halitosis!
For instance, if food sits away very long it'll spoil. That spoiling behavior is due to anaerobic bacteria breaking down proteins in that particular food. In milk, the smell of sour milk is caused by relatives of the little bugs which generate halitosis whenever they break down proteins in the milk (and essentially in all dairy foods). A response takes place where' the halitosis bugs' extract sulfur compounds from the amino acids in these proteins. Specifically, the amino acid Cysteine is changed to Hydrogen Sulfide (which has a rotten egg smell ) and Methionine becomes Methyl Mercaptan (which smells like a cross between old socks and garlic). The same analogy applies to meat in case it sits out too long.
Everyone is aware that onions and garlic will create bad breath. But can you know exactly why? It is because the odorous molecules in onions and garlic are in fact sulfur compounds themselves known as Mercaptans. Sulfur is nature's way of making smells. You're all experienced with the skunk. The odor of its is made by a defense and/or hit mechanism. Skunk odor is made up of skatoles, which are ever-present sulfur compounds. In a similar fashion, prodentim complaints (what google did to me) bacteria in your mouth creates the volatile sulfur compounds of bad taste as well as breath disorders.

There are 4 food groups that will lead to an increase of sulfur generation because these categories have a stimulating affect on the bacteria that can cause poor breath:
1. Drying Agents
2. Dense Protein Foods
3. Sugars
4. Acidic Foods
