How to Get Rid of Garlic Breath

After study participants took some garlic, researchers gave them whey protein, lemon juice, green tea, chlorophyll, 7UP soda, a raw pink lady apple, a cooked apple, parsley, spinach, and mint leaves. Which do you think worked best as a remedy for garlic breath?

    NF Youtube manager,
    You put “YouTube“ in the title of this video. That seems to be an error.
    Best,

  • @MuhammadAfzal-ie7ie says:

    Thank you! I’ve started 2.5g raw crushed garlic twice a day & was worried about this.

    • @yvonnes7412 says:

      I put crushed garlic on toast then toast lightly in the toaster oven … tastes like delicious garlic bread but without all the butter, etc… just an idea…
      I also do this with potatoes 🥔 (cut baked potato in half, put garlic on top, toast lightly)

    • @duckcile3515 says:

      Too strong, also can be pungent. Can trigger migraine. My mum has this condition.

  • @kathrynlouise says:

    thank you

  • @doloreswinsbarrow1110 says:

    Thanks for the tips

    drink black coffee > coffee breath is preferrable

  • @mchagawa1615 says:

    Fascinating! Thank you for sharing 🙂

  • @chunkysneakerz says:

    I’ve noticed using aged garlic (putting cloves in just 100% apple cider vinegar / quick pickling) cuts down as well as xylitol mints taken immediately after a meal

    Майкл Грегер, здравствуйте!! Сколько проростков или микрозелени льна и, брокколи можно употреблять в день без вреда организму?

  • @stavokg says:

    For years, I have eaten parsley to deodorize breath and body. If I notice any odor I eat a handful of raw parsley. It works every time.

  • @lawrencelawrence3920 says:

    Popcorn works for me, its dry abrasion helps srub the garlic juice.

  • @sallysailor5642 says:

    Easy: drink two glasses of cold water with the juice of half a squeezed lemon, one in the morning, one in the afternoon or evening.

  • @5t4n5 says:

    If people don’t like me smelling of garlic then all they have to do is eat some garlic. Problem solved.

    I once had a smoker moaning about me smelling of garlic while reeking like an ashtray. Priceless!!!

    • @duckcile3515 says:

      Garlic smell from body odour is so intrusive. I can smell you from far. And it fills the room. But I also agree cigarettes smells disgusting as well.

    • @lizpimentel2566 says:

      I’d rather smell someone who is garlicky than someone who smells like cigarettes 🤢

  • @eliasbach-ys8mb says:

    But wouldn’t eliminating the sulfur compounds like allicin also get rid of the beneficial properties vegetables like onions and garlic have BECAUSE these compounds?

    • @jshrw1427 says:

      Good question, hope it gets answered

    • @xcast1 says:

      The isothiocyanats (from mustard family / cruciferious etc) like shown in 1:00 react with thiol S-H groups of (likely gaseous / smelling) sulfur compounds like SH2 and CH3SH from the breakdown of S amino acids. Allicin and its metabolits (di- and trisulfids) do not so far expose ‘-S-H’.

      Some common recipes like coleslaw contain both, cruciferous and Allium plants. People had a good sense for beneficial nutrition before scientific nitpicking. Due to some vinegar / mild acid in those recipes, the low pH likely reduces / delays the isothiocyanate reactivity and improves overall stability of such salads regarding all kinds of degradations before consumption. After all, you can still taste the sharp taste of both …

    I love this channel!

  • @koreyb says:

    In my opinion, garlic breath is not nearly as bad as rotten tooth smell. Missing a dentist appointment is the worst thing for your breath.

  • @inigo137 says:

    Could we get some recommendations for people with chronic gastritis?
    Thanks 🙏

  • @RealDealy says:

    An apple works for garlic breath, preferably green apples. A nice tongue scraper, and a cap full of hydrogen peroxide mixed with a little bit of water, is the best mouth cleaner. I only spend about $2 a month!

    I make sure I rinse with clean water after each mouth wash with the Hydrogen peroxide/water mix cause left over hydrogen peroxide can slowly irritate your mouth, and burn it
