General Health Information

If you have ever heard anything about bad breath and ketosis,
the first thing that probably comes to mind is: what the heck is
ketosis? This is a very fair question and unless you are on some low
carb diet such as Atkins or South Beach—it honestly will have no
relevance to your own bad breath problems. However, for those
determined to shed pounds with a low carb diet and wondering why they
are suddenly having a bad breath problem, it is important to understand
ketosis and its effect upon your body. Fortunately, there is little
chance of a low carb diet causing chronic bad breath because most plans
(including Atkins and South Beach) call for a gradual re-introduction
of carbohydrates into the diet once certain weight loss goals are met
or after a set period of time.
