You've stuck to your rigid diet, you've dropped 2 dress sizes, and you look absolutely fabulous now. But wait a minute, why do you detect that slight grimace when you're chatting up that cute guy?

If you're suffering from bad breath which wasn't there before, and you're not slacking on the oral hygiene, the culprit may be the diet you're on.


Dieting can cause bad breath.
Bad breath, also called halitosis, can be socially embarrassing. Most of the time, the root of the problem can be traced to bacteria in the mouth and poor oral hygiene, but certain types of dieting can induce bad breath too.
