Yogurt cultures and fresh breath...
For Fresh Breath and a Healthy Mouth, Eat Yogurt
Consuming just 3.2 ounces (90 grams) of yogurt twice a day not only lowers levels of hydrogen sulfide and other volatile sulfide compounds responsible for bad breath, but may also eliminate tongue-coating bacteria and reduce dental plaque formation, cavities, and risk for gingivitis. The sugar-free yogurt eaten by 24 volunteers in this 6-week study was fermented with two strains of probiotic (friendly) bacteria: streptococci and lactobacilli.
Be careful when selecting yogurt and choose yogurts that contain live cultures-highest quality prodcts will often indicate exactly how many live bacteria are contained in the product. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermopholis are the lactic acid bacteria usually used to make yogurt in the United States.

Re: Yogurt cultures and fresh breath...
Isn't yogurt made from milk and eating large amounts makes us stink more?
Or if eating yogurt in large amounts make body odour go away I'm all for it?
Am I right or wrong about this?

Yogurt: An Antidote to Bad Breath?
Active Ingredient in Yogurt May Fight Bad Breath
By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Michael W. Smith, MDForget the breath mints. Pass the yogurt.
A new study suggests that a daily dose of yogurt may keep your breath fresh and fend off offensive odors.
Researchers found that eating 6 ounces of yogurt a day reduced levels of odor-causing compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, in the mouth.
They say the results suggest that the active bacteria in yogurt, specifically Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, may have a beneficial effect on odor-causing bacteria in the mouth.
Yogurt vs. Odor-Causing Bacteria
In the study, which was presented this week at a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research in Baltimore, researchers looked at the effects of eating yogurt on bad breath and bacteria in the mouth.
Before the study began, 24 healthy volunteers were asked to avoid yogurt and other foods containing the same bacteria found in yogurt, such as cheese and pickled vegetables, for two weeks.
Researchers then took saliva and tongue coating samples to measure bacteria levels as well as odor-causing compounds, including hydrogen sulfide.
During the study, the participants ate about 3 ounces of yogurt twice daily for six weeks.
At the end of the study, researchers took samples again. They found that odiferous compounds, namely hydrogen sulfide, decreased in 80% of participants.
In addition, levels of plaque and the gum disease gingivitis were also significantly lower among yogurt eaters.
Although further studies are needed to confirm these results, researchers say the study suggests that adding yogurt to the diet may be a safe and effective way to fight bad breath.

Re: Yogurt cultures and fresh breath...
I see that the article addresses yogurt and breath. What about body odor? Do you know if yogurt with probiotics helps body odor? Or would the fact that it is a milk product produce added odor?

Re: Yogurt cultures and fresh breath...
Yikes, why dont you try it for body odor? It wont hurt, it actually may help. I would suggest an organic plain low fat yogurt, like "Olympic, 0% fat, organic probiotic yogurt". The yogurt helps break down lactose. Avoid all other dairy, and just try the plain yogurt for a few weeks.
There isn't much research on unusual chronic body odors. So trial and error are our methods right now.

Re: Yogurt cultures and fresh breath...
Milk causes me to have bad reactions with odor due to intolerance - Yogurt drinks fat free, i felt fresher and no bad side affectos 0% fat free pro biotic drinks. They are no amazing cure unyet results are positive rather then negative.
Someone told me you have to stay on robotics month b4 any effect.
