BBC News: Natural yoghurt beats bad breath (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4367723.stm)
Sugarless yoghurt could help beat bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease, say scientists.
Japanese researchers found eating the yoghurt reduced levels of hydrogen sulphide - a major cause of bad breath - in 80% of volunteers.
Wonder if that's why kissing is not very ingrained in Japanese culture (see No kissing in Japan (http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9970)), as the Japanese didn't eat any dairy products before Meiji (http://www.wa-pedia.com/history/meiji_revolution.shtml). :p
