Yogurt & Bad Breath

According to research, sugarless yogurt can help beat bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease.

How? The active bacteria reduces levels of odor-causing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide in the mouth and, at the same time, lowers the readings of plaque and gum disease in subjects.

Hard to swallow? Consider that two Australian scientists won the Nobel Prize for a discovery that revolutionized research. In 1982 they proved that painful stomach and intestinal ulcers were caused by bacteria, and not by stress. Since then, microbes have been linked to many systemic inflammatory diseases and gum disease.

Nothing can replace good dental care, but if a natural, widely accessible, sugar-free product like yogurt can help; we're all for it!

Exploding Another Mystery

Why do some popcorn kernels pop while others don't?
The answer is that good popcorn hold its moisture while bad popcorn releases moisture like water through a sieve. If you've ever cracked a tooth or gotten a kernel caught between them, then you know that this is science that could matter. But there's more you need to know about corn and your dental health.
