The Stinkiest Garlic Breath Doesn't Stand A Chance Against One Fruit
BY JAMES HASTINGS
Fortunately for garlic lovers, scientists from Ohio State University conducted an in-depth study on the best foods for reducing the intensity of garlic breath.
“Rosmarinic acid, which is in mint, worked the best," states Sheryl Barringer, co-author of the study; however, they also discovered that raw apples were highly effective.
The high quantities of chlorophyll in parsley also help neutralize smelly compounds, as can the essential oils released by chewing on fragrant fennel or anise seeds.
Munching an apple after a garlicky meal will reduce stinky breath, but you have to act fast. Barringer explains that if you wait too long it wont have the desired effect.
