One weekend you get together with friends for dinner at a delectable eating house that serves cheese fondue, and you have a cocktail
to cap it off. You want to do sure you have fresh breath, so after dinner you pop in an Altoids or another similar breath mint. Though you may now have a cinnamon-like taste in your mouth, what you've actually done is ready-made your bad breath problem more worse. Let me explain...
All the "breath mint candies" that you're used to seeing in the stores (Altoids, Tic-Tacs, Certs, Ice Breakers, etc...) all commit several kind of fatal mistake in the documented science of creating fresh breath. You see, by now the academic halitus community knows the causes of bad breath...and we besides cognize the exact conditions that create an oral environment in your mouth that is more likely to produce bad breath.
A LITTLE BIT Just about SITUATIONAL BAD BREATH AND WHAT TRIGGERS IT
A common type of bad breath that occurs in 99.9% of the earth population, at one time or another, is situational bad breath. It happens once
person activates what is called a "trigger" which causes the oral environment in their mouth to become more likely for the anaerobiotic
bacterium to begin creating the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC's) that cause bad breath.
In scientific terms, once
your mouth encounters one of these triggers, it creates an oral environment that encourages the anaerobiotic
bacterium to begin extracting sulfur compounds from specific amino acids. One amino acid called Cysteine, turns into H Sulfide, which has a rotten-egg smell. Another amino acid, Methionine, becomes Methyl group Mercaptan which smells sort of like dirty socks. What are the common bad breath triggers? They include foods that are high in protein, alcohol, medication with dry mouth side effects, smoking, garlic, onions, coffee, citrus juice, and sugar.
WHY DID THE 'BREATH MINT CANDY' AFTER DINNER NOT Activity AT REFRESHING YOUR BREATH?
During dinner you introduced two "triggers" to your mouth (protein and alcohol) that weren't antecedently
there. These triggers do your oral environment really eager to begin creating foul-smelling VSC's (volatile sulfur compounds). Thus, the process of producing bad breath began.
Wouldn't you think that a breath mint would-be contain ingredients that do this oral environment less likely to happen? At the really least, there shouldn't be thing
in a breath mint that would-be do that oral environment worse right?
SO, WHAT Does A BREATH MINT Really NEUTRALIZE BAD BREATH PRODUCTION?
First, you need a breath mint that makes not contain sugar - your breath mint should Ne'er
have sugar as an ingredient. Rather, the ingredient xylitol should be used. Xylitol is a NATURAL sweetener and has besides been proved to have tremendous anti-decay properties.
Next your breath mint should besides contain zn gluconate. This ingredient virtually
puts a "straight-jacket" about those bad breath producing anaerobiotic
bacteria. Specifically, it blocks the receptors on the anaerobiotic
bacterium so that they don't bind with the amino acids thus preventing the creation of VSC's (volatile sulfur compounds), which causes bad breath!
Remember, your breath mint should be free of aspartame, saccharin, and artificial colors or flavors. Do you see wherever
I'm acquiring at? The top breath mint fresheners on the market ALL contain either sugar, or an artificial flavor that is designed to cover up rather than prevent bad breath and taste.
WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE? WHAT BREATH MINTS DO I RECOMMEND?
One such breath mint that contains none of these ineffective ingredients but makes contain all of the nice ones, are ZOX breath lozenges. With their proprietary
combination of Zinc, Oxygen, and Xylitol they are virtually
the most effective breath mint available.
