14 DAY TRIAL // It's not the kind of thing guys and gals like to talk about over cocktails, but morning breath does happen and it can sometimes be quite nasty.
In case you were wondering why your body does this darn awful thing to you, here's your answer: overnight, bacteria grow by the gazillions inside your mouth.
This happens because the human mouth is the perfect environment for such microorganisms to breed and thrive. It's warm, it's humid and there's plenty of food to go around.
During daytime, the saliva we produce helps keep our mouth bacteria population under control. Come nighttime, however, we don't make quite as much saliva and so the bacteria take over.
While feasting on food leftovers and dead cells inside the mouth, these body invaders that have evolved to plague us produce all sorts of foul-smelling compounds that explain morning breath.
What's interesting is that, as it turns out, having bacteria populate our mouth is not such a bad thing after all. Not when they keep other potentially dangerous organisms from invading our body.
Then again, they can also cause cavities and gum disease, so having too many of them setting up camp on our tongue and in between our teeth is not something to look forward to.
