The American Academy of Periodontology states that a common misconception among many people is that bad breath is caused by the foods you eat.

Sure, your breath is never going to smell grand after a spicy curry or a nice big dose of garlic-laced foods, but foods are not the number one enemy when it comes to keeping your mouth smelling sweet.

Nor too are serious medical conditions. You may find it reassuring to hear that only a very small percentage of cases of halitosis are caused by problems with parts of the body such as the intestines or stomach.
