Hi, would you like a mint?
Bad breath, halitosis, stinky breath, fetid face, oral stench, dragon breath, malodorousness of the mouth, morning breath, and smelly stinky poop face. We’ve all experienced it at one time or another, and it’s never an enjoyable experience. But what causes it? There are many things that may cause your breath to be so repulsive, so unbearable that the poor unfortunate individuals whose lives are regrettably changed forever when they come across another human’s horrific oral odor that it sadly is burned into their brain as something that they will never forget it for the rest of their lives! Ok, maybe a little dramatic, but I’m sure you agree that it’s never ever something you want to experience.
Personally, I try to avoid foods that are known to cause this unpleasantness for others. “Others” is the key word here because when someone has bad breath they usually have no clue that they’re offending everyone and anyone who wanders into their disgusting, smelly stinky poop face path. The main foods I avoid, just happen to be the top three foods that the American Dental Association says are most likely to cause bad breath. ADA spokesperson Roopali Kulkarni told Newsweek, “certain foods and drinks…can contribute to objectionable breath because they contain odor-causing compounds. When these compounds enter the bloodstream, they are transferred to the lungs, where they are exhaled.”
Here are the top three food the American Dental Association says are the foods that destroy your breath the most.
Garlic
Top of the list is garlic, no surprise there. Unfortunately, many of us love garlic. Garlic knots, garlic bagels, garlic bread….

Onions
Onions make you cry, and then make someone else cry when you breathe on them.

Coffee
This one hurts the most, so many of us can’t live without their cup o’ joe.
