Drinking Milk Can Eliminate Mouth Odor

California: After eating, especially if you eat food containing onion, sometimes the smell of food still remain in the mouth. Bad breath after eating cannot be "dumped" in the intestines during digestion, thus released from the body breath and sweat. Researchers say that drinking a glass of milk can eliminate the odor remained.

Mixing milk with food in the mouth before swallowing has the effect of neutralizing the odor higher than drinking milk after eating. One of the compounds that fight bacteria in the milk in eliminating bad breath after eating is allyl methyl sulfide, or AMS. In tests with a clove of raw, cooked, milk significantly reduced levels of sulfur compounds that give garlic flavor and aroma are sharp. Cream milk gives better results than milk "diet" or just water. It is based on research taken from a volunteer who examined after consuming food and its relationship with the odor in the mouth.

Sheryl Barringer and Areerat Hansanugrum, researchers from Ohio State University, stated that the water, and some foods such as mushrooms and basil, can help neutralize bad breath after eating.
