Researchers from the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois
at Chicago say compounds in tea can slow the growth of bacteria in
our mouths, which is the primary cause of bad breath. The magic
ingredients are antioxidants called polyphenols, and they are found in
both green and black teas.
It's the bacteria that live on the back surface of the tongue and in the
deep pockets between the gums and teeth that make our breath smell
bad. The bacteria "make horrible, smelly stuff," lead study author
Christine D. Wu explained to Reuters in an interview. "That's why we
get bad breath."
