Garlic breath

[5] Anaerobic bacteria, which do not metabolize oxygen, are a main source for producing volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) which cause bad breath.

[citation needed] Mouthwash or breath mints are not particularly effective, since the sulfurous compounds are absorbed into the bloodstream, and exit the body through the lungs and skin.

[6] Studies conducted at Ohio State University have shown that drinking milk can reduce garlic breath.

[3][7] Lettuce, chicory, celery, potato, parsley, mint leaves, peppermint, and basil were shown to be the best remedy according to the study.

Indeed, enzymes that degrade the sulfurous compounds responsible for garlic breath are heat sensitive and found in previously mentioned food.
