Garlic odor of breath, Overcome By Milk

Strong-smelling foods, such as garlic can cause bad breath that pungent onions due to sulfur content is high enough. However, there is an easy way to eliminate bad breath caused by the consumption of onions.

As soon as you eat garlic spicy food, drink a glass of milk for water and fat content in milk effective for reducing levels of sulfur so that the bad breath will be gone. Research on the subject published in the Journal of Food Science.


Allyl methyl sulphide (AMS) is a component in garlic that can not be broken down in the intestine during the digestive process so it will be released by the body through sweat or breath. Water and some foods, such as basil is actually good enough to reduce the smell of onions. But a glass of milk was much more effective. In the experiments conducted by experts is also seen that the combination of milk with garlic before it is swallowed to neutralize bad breath more quickly than if you drink milk after eating garlic mengasup.

In addition, fat-containing milk (full-fat milk) also gives more effective results compared to dispel the odor of low-fat milk, or just drink water. "It is scientifically proven to drink or eat foods that contain fat, such as milk can reduce the smell of bad breath," says Sheryl Barringer, researchers say.
