As humans, being liked, popular and sought after is a natural desire inherent in each of us. This is why deodorants, toothpastes, gym memberships and fancy cars sell at astronomical rates. This is also why mints are so popular and hardly a day goes by without someone at work, school or in public asking you do you have some gum? You already know what that person may be trying to curb or correct: Bad Breath. (It also relieves you this person didnt offer you some!)
I wrote once in an article in my blog titled Youve lost the weight but how clean are you on the inside? that exterior indications-though very convincing and at times correct-dont necessary depict proper health, as disease may manifest itself in various ways.
One strong indication of disease is always stench, as a result, if you suffer from bad breath or as is Medically diagnosed, halitosis, this is a sign that you need to make some drastic dietetic changes or undergo a cleanse to curb this unpleasant occurrence.
Using toothpastes (especially the controversial and hazardous fluorinated ones), mints and chewing-gums to curb bad breath, like any artificial drug for any disease, doesnt cure this...
