Want fresher breath? Well, according to a study reviewed by WebMd., eating healthy-bacteria-laden yogurt could be a better solution than mints or gum.

“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.”

Read the entire article here and take note of the other benefits of eating yogurt (only the variety containing live, active cultures–read the labels).

Probiotics, which active culture yogurt is rich in, have been known to:

-help reduce lactose intolerance
-help with resistence to yeast infections, food allergies, ecxema and asthsma (just to name a few)
-help recovery from food poisoning
-build immune system
-counter the side effects of antibiotics

There are probably dozens of reasons to include organic, live, active culture yogurt to your diet. Need more? Dr. Greene has a helpful site that gives many more details on these benefits.
