Probioticbacteria found in fermented foods might help dispel bad breath BMJ_Open
Probiotic bacteria usually found in fermented foods, such as yogurt, sourdough bread, and miso soup, might help dispel the embarrassment of persistent bad breath , finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published in the open access journalLactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus reuteri, Streptococcus salivarius, Weissella cibaria, taken in the form of supplements in this study, may help freshen the breath, but more good quality research is needed, say the researchers.
Out of an initial haul of 238 records, duplication and incomplete data reduced the number of eligible clinical trials for pooled data analysis to 7, involving a total of 278 people. Tongue coating scores and the plaque index were also included in the analysis because a dirty tongue and the build-up of tartar between the teeth are often regarded as major causes of bad breath.
But there were no significant differences in tongue coating score or plaque index between those given probiotics and those who weren't.
