More >>Bad breath is caused by Anaerobic Sulfur Producing Bacteria, which normally live within the surface of the tongue and in the throat. These bacteria are supposed to be there, because they assist humans in digestion by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood, and in diseased or “broken-down” oral tissue. Under certain conditions, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate.
Proteins are made up of Amino Acids. Two of the Amino Acids are dense with sulfur. When these beneficial bacteria come into contact with these compounds, the odorous and lousy-tasting sulfur compounds are released from the back of the tongue and throat, as Hydrogen Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan, and other odorous and bad tasting compounds. These problem compounds are often referred to as volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), where volatile means Vaporous and Effervescent, two adjectives that accurately describe their ability to offend other people instantly.
High Protein Foods
The bad breath bacteria love those proteins, and certain foods are packed with them. Milk and cheese and most other dairy products are high protein foods. Since your system cannot digest them properly, they are available to the bacteria for an extended period of time.
A recent research article from the Los Angeles Times on lactose intolerance showed that nearly 67% of all Americans could be classified as Lactose Intolerant. This is due to the fact that in a diverse population such as we have here. There is a predilection for Asians, Hispanics, and African-Americans to be lactose intolerant.
Fish are high in proteins. As many people eat a high fish diet, logically they make the problem worse. Coffee with caffeine contains high levels of acids that cause the bacteria to reproduce more rapidly and create a bitter taste for many people.
Coffee drinking was one of the problems that my patients used to have. After starting my treatment, they have been able to go back to coffee drinking without any bitter tastes afterward.
Dry Mouth
Although some cases of dry mouth are naturally occurring, most cases are caused by one of these factors; prescription medications antihistamines, adult beverages, and mouthwashes with alcohol in them. When your mouth is dryer, you have less saliva.
Saliva naturally contains oxygen, which keeps your mouth healthy and fresh. These bacteria are anaerobic, which simply means that they will thrive and make more sulfur in the presence of little or no oxygen. Thus if you have less saliva, you have less oxygen, thereby creating an anaerobic environment, perfect for the bacteria to produce more of these odorous and sour or bitter compounds.1000s of Affordable Health,Medical,Fitness and Beauty Products here -

Air, in this case, is oxygen, a gas we need to survive. But the anaerobic bacteria that live in your mouth need no oxygen and they thrive when it is missing from your saliva.
Research shows that proteins are composed of amino acid chains. The amino acid chains contain sulfur which produces the rotten egg smell when they are consumed by the anaerobic bacteria.
People with post-nasal drip produce excess mucus. The excess mucus coats the back of the throat and tongue. Mucus is composed of interlinked strands of protein, the bacteria go into a feeding frenzy and the proteins are transformed into smelly, noxious volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs).
Antihistamines can help, but the side-effect is to reduce the bacteria controlling saliva. Nasal sprays may be a better solution.
Why Bad Breath Can Come From Your Sinuses
Your sinuses will not sustain any anaerobic bacteria, but the VSCs they produce can leak into your sinuses. From there the VSCs can cause the sinuses to be infected and one of the common symptoms is a sinus headache which in many cases can be intense. The headache is caused by the infection which produces inflammation with a resulting pressure. That pressure is what makes sinus headaches so devastating.
But look, if you don’t have a headache, your sinuses are probably not infected.
However, once these anaerobic “bugs” find a protein source like mucus or phlegm, bad breath will be the result. Sinus drops and sprays will bring some welcome relief.
Just 1-2 drops or 1-2 squirts into each
nostril effectively neutralizes any existing VSCs found in the nose, sinus, and posterior sinus area. However it’s important to realize that unless you stop the production of VSC’s at the source
(the back of the tongue and throat), new VSCs will continue to move into the sinus area.Why Garlic and Onions Cause Bad Breath.
Garlic and onions contain mercaptans which are sulfur compounds. They enter your body through the digestive system and end up in your lungs. When you exhale, the stinky mercaptans are release just by the simple mechanism of breathing.
The Role Of Milk and Cheese in Bad Breath
Most dairy products including cheese and milk can pose problems especially if you are lactose intolerant. One study showed that almost 67% of Americans suffer from lactose intolerance. When you suffer from this condition, your system cannot digest them and they become available to the anaerobic bacteria as food.
Remember, they contain protein which the VSCs love.
How About Fish
Fish is high in protein. Many people consume a lot of fish and the protein in fish becomes available for the vSCs.
The only solution to avoid bad breath, is to make sure that your mouth is free of the VSCs. If after cleaning the little rascals out, you still have a bad breath problem, it may indicate that there is a more serious problem. In that case, you need to consult your health care professionals, the dentists and physicians. They can make sure it’s not a serious condition or if it is, they will treat it.

These bacteria are of two types, the strict anaerobes which refer to the type of bacteria that can only survive in the absence of oxygen and facultative anaerobes which refer to the bacteria that are able to survive both in the presence and absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic means “life without air.” Anaerobic bacteria grow in places which completely, or almost completely, lack oxygen. They are normally found in the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina, and on the skin. Commonly known diseases caused by anaerobic bacteria include gas gangrene, tetanus, and botulism. Nearly all dental infections are caused by anaerobic bacteria.
Anaerobic bacteria can infect deep wounds, deep tissues, and internal organs where there is little oxygen. These infections are characterized by abscess formation, foul-smelling pus, and tissue destruction.The signs and symptoms of anaerobic infection can vary depending on the location of the infection.For example it can be Mouth, head, and neck,female genital tract,Skin and soft tissue,Lungs. Anaerobic bacteria can cause brain and spinal cord abscesses too.
You may have wondered why at times the doctor tells you not to cover your wound and in turn let it to be exposed to the free air. The big reason behind this approach is that, as you expose this wound, the anaerobic bacteria that might have been present inside the wound are exposed to oxygen found in the air and as a result of this, the bacteria get to die hence making the wound heal much more faster than if it had been left covered.
The facultative anaerobes are anaerobic bacteria that can survive in both conditions where oxygen is present or where the gas is not present. However, when given a choice, these bacteria would prefer to use oxygen for respiration that is why when put inside a test tube full of water, you will find the bacteria on the top surface and once the oxygen appears to be fading, the bacteria are seen to move all over the test tube and finally settle down at the bottom surface when the gas has been consumed to completion.
The facultative anaerobes are said to be comfortable with two ways of respiration. One of them is fermentation and the other is through the use of other electron acceptors. This way, the bacteria gets to survive in two types of environments.
The yeast is a good example of the facultative anaerobic bacteria that exists on earth. It is able to use the fermentation way of respiration in order to generate its energy for its survival. It is this ability to ferment that makes the micro-organism to be used for the production of bread and doughnuts. When the yeast finds itself in a different environment, it switches to other electron acceptors such as carbon monoxide, iron and even sulfate so as to sustain itself in the new environment. This pattern of life would continue for as long as the yeast is alive.
They say once you’ve known about the living pattern of anaerobic bacteria, no other living lifestyle of any organism would surprise you.
