Why Does Your Breath Stink? šŸ«¢

Morning Stinky!

Why does your breath stinkā€¦ SO much?

It's an age-old human problem. All cultures throughout history absolutely HATED the annoying mouth stink.

In the ancient Jewish Talmud, for example, ā€œstinky breathā€ was even considered legal grounds for divorce!

So, where does it come from?

Durd! Open up.

Now zoom inā€¦

See those little guys?

Theyā€™re bacteria.

The very same bacteria that cause all this stuff to absolutely REEK:

Grossā€¦

But, don't worry!

Bacteria is actually meant to be in your body!

It's not just normal, it's vital to keep you alive.

Trouble is, like all living things, bacteria need to eat.

So your mouth bacteria chomp down on basically whatever they can findā€¦

Mucus:

Bits of food:

Dead tissue cells:

Whatever! 

But in order to absorb the nutrients in these food sources they gotta break them down into smaller, more bite-size molecules.

But theres a problemā€¦

Because, by doing this, it releases someā€¦ byproducts.

Like hydrogen sulfide and cadaverine.

2 things which absolutelyā€¦

Stink!!
