Many of us want to fight bad breath permanently.
Chewing gum, although it can be an insignificant portion of our diet, can significantly affect our health. Most popular chewing gum brands contain dangerous additives like artificial sweeteners, colours, flavours and E321.
Most brands contain the dangerous additive BHT (also known as 321 or Antioxidant 321) which can worsen fatigue, migraines, eczema, asthma, and other health conditions. If you find this additive number 321 in the ingredients list, beware!
Studies also show that ingredients in chewing gum can cause weight gain, by increasing appetite. Your mind becomes programmed to physically masticate food throughout the day. And the more you chew, the more food you crave.
Chewing gum only masks bad breath. It doesn't fight the bacteria causing bad breath.
Here are the TOP 5 that work powerfully to kill the bacteria causing bad breath:
1. Lemon
2. Green leafy herbs (parsley, mint, oregano)
3. Green tea
4. Ginger
5. Cucumber
