Pure coffee extract in the morning

To combat bad breath, it is good to drink pure coffee extract in the morning, as it can inhibit the development of bacteria in the mouth that cause halitosis.

Scientists from Tel Aviv University have just shown that, far from causing bad breath, coffee extract can inhibit the development of bacteria in the mouth that cause halitosis.

"Everyone thinks that coffee causes bad breath, and it is often true because coffee, which has a dehydrating effect on the mouth, when mixed with milk can ferment into malodorous substances," explains the microbiologist and co-author of the study. Mel Rosenberg study. However, to the surprise of Rosenberg himself, his latest experiments reveal that pure coffee extract can have exactly the opposite effect, inhibiting the growth of the bacteria that generate halitosis.

After the discovery, Rosenberg has proposed to create new mouthwashes and chewing gum with purified extract of coffee that fight the origin of bad breath, instead of masking the smell as do the current menthol products.
