Bad breath be gone

Move over Altoids, there's a far stronger breath mint that will soon be making it's way into town. Derived from magnolia tree bark, this new extract proved to be 17 times stronger and more effective than leading breath savers that are available today.

The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports that this new super strong extract contains honokiol and magnolol. Right -- what the heck are those? According to researchers, these are the antibacterial compounds that give the extract its halitosis-fighting properties.

According to Men's Health magazine, Wrigley's gum already has plans to use this new bad breath-ending extract in a new line of their gum. Expect to see it on shelves by the end of the summer.

here is a strong link between being overweight and having a bad breath, according to researchers at the Tel Aviv University in Israel. The study conducted by breath expert Mel Rosenberg at the Department of Human Microbiology and The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University showed the connection between alcohol consumption and unpleasant breath, as well the fact that people are more likely to have bad breath as they have more extra-pounds.
