Do Veg*ns Have Really Bad Breath?!
Answers: Because my x-b/f who is vegan generally had a foul mouth
I don't think so--I think that has more to do with oral hygiene like brushing and flossing. I've been vegetarian for 17 years and never even had a cavity.
I agree- oral hygiene. Plus if you don't take care of your mouth- and you eat meat- it could be even worse. You have dead animals rotting in there
No, not really. Poor dental hygiene can lead to odor in the mouth, your ex might not have flossed or brushed effectively. She might have even had stage one or two periodontal disease, which is characterized with bad odor. In any case, most people who eat meat eat the same fruits, grains and veggies that vegans do and eat meat on top of it, so if the food was the cause we would all have bad breath, every single one of us that eats any food at all.
I don't know. Did you have a foul mouth back when you were vegan?
I think it's more related to oral hygiene.
Oral Hygene is one aspect but cleansing the body of toxins stored in the tissues is another. Often when people begin to change their diet from flesh foods to vegetarian or vegan consciousness the toxins which have been stored in the fatty tissues not only from the environment, but also from all the years of eating meat products, drinking whatever etc. are released into the bloodstream to be removed from the body. That can result in powerfully obnoxious odors of the breath and the body.
The good news is that it isn't a lasting condition and that drinking a lot of good water, (half your body weight in ounces daily) plus regular bathing and good oral hygiene can contribute to ameliorating the offensive oders.
being vegetarian has nothing to do with bad breath .in fact its more likely for non vegetarians to have a bad breath due to the putrecible nature of the food. fruits like apple and green leafy veggies keep your breath fresh and prevent infections.your boyfriend probably has bad smell due to insufficient saliva production in the mouth ...saliva bathes the mouth with necessary ions for the teeth and also is antibacterial.due to less saliva bacteria tend to accumulate in the mouth and feed on the tiny food particles that produces bad breath. the best way to prevent this is by brushing and flossing and rinsing mouth after every meal. then tell him to keep chewing gums handy to have after each meal .they adjust the pH of the mouth and give a nice breath and are quite tasty too
no actually, i think eating a dead animal and chewing that up makes your breath a lot worse
Meat eaters tend to have bad breath, because the meat stays in the stomach much longer and the digesting process isn't anything you would want to see.
Maybe your friend has a problem with tonsils or the stomach if its not something that has to do with teeth or gum problems. But definitely vegans don't eat anything that could cause bad breath.
No. Your friend should see a dentist.
Um, no. Sounds like your significant other has gingivitis. Not a result of being veg. A result of bad dental care.
I have never head of that, haha Just tell him to take a breath mint!
all things being equal, vegans have better smelling breath.
i mean think about it. what smells worse, rotting veges or rotting cheese, rotting eggs and rotting meat???? yeah they all smell bad but the last three are worse.
No. It probably had to do with his oral hygiene, or some people have naturally worse breath than others.
I haven't smelled every vegan's breath, but I'd say no. Your ex probably had bad oral hygiene or he had a bad diet. Did you have really bad breath back when you were a vegan?
You're just being silly now.
My ex had tennis elbow. Do all meat-eaters have this?
well yeah i guess so i am not no vegan so yeah
i agree with Luna
