the sulphur makes it stink!.!.!.!.same with onions :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Garlic on the breath is strong but short-lived its the fact that later-on it exudes through your skin sweat glands that makes the longer lasting garlic smell (often 6 hours or more after eating it) caused by the fat soluble parts of garlic traveling though your system!.

the garlic breath is strong and pungent as it contains sulphides but can me minimised by brushing you teeth immediately, chewing on parsley or cardamon!. That said nothing will do anything for the garlic skin smell but thats just the GOOD parts of garlic going through your system!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dont know why but what I do know is that I absolutley LOVE garlic & love the smell of it cooking (like when you walk past an Italian restaurant in the evening) mmm! & to be honest I dont actually mind the smell of it on peoples breath too badly, which might be a little strange, but thats just me! =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

garlic, onions, many other yummy smelly things have sulfur
in them


the sulfur converts during digestion to a different form of sulfur that smells awful on your breath, even on your skin if you eat enough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i've heard that if you eat a lot of garlic all the time your body somehow learns how to deal with it better and the smell weakens!.!.!. the more you eat the less you smell! they said so on tv so it must be true :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sulfur!. But don't stop eating it!. It's one of the most healthiest things you can eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's just a strong smell and when it is mixed with whatever other smells are brewing in your mouth it isn't too pleasant!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

eat some fresh mint leaves or fresh ginger to combat the smell!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
