Yogurt would be a great way to get rid of garlic breath.
When a pod is cut, two substances meet, namely alliin and alliinase, which produces the appearance of a third called allicin. It is this which is responsible not only for the characteristic scent of garlic, but also for the bad breath that we will have in the mouth after its ingestion.
Coffee, lemon, cloves, cinnamon… Remedies have been recommended for decades to combat bad breath with little effectiveness.
American researchers from Ohio State University have found the solution. Publishing their research in the scientific journal Molecules, they spotted yogurt as a way to neutralize the unpleasant smell of raw garlic. Stirred, Greek, skyr… There are a plethora of yogurt recipes, and what works best are pots that contain fat. The fats and proteins embedded in the yogurt mix with the garlic molecules. American scientists have thus validated Greek yogurt as a “remedy” for this type of bad breath.
In 2010, a previous study of the same type, published by the’Institute of Food Technologists, had recommended milk as a way to combat a bad odor in the mouth caused by garlic. Here again, fats were presented as the effective antidote, as long as you chose whole milk.
