Garlic Breath

FROM THE KITCHEN

Garlic Breath

By Marilyn vos Savant

Oranges

QUESTION:  Why does garlic smell so bad on a person’s breath?

ANSWER:  After you chew and swallow garlic, sulfur-containing gases pass through your gut, then circulate throughout your body. Meanwhile, the compounds in garlic are morphing into an even nastier form.

With time, the gases are excreted by your lungs. And they increase acetone in the breath, making it downright pungent.

So, when you have “garlic breath,” you’re exhaling the smelly stuff from your lungs, not your mouth. No amount of brushing, gargling or chewing red-hot chili peppers will stop it.

Food is the stuff of life.  We all eat it.  Reconsider the table - your table.  What goes on it and what goes around it?  How does food get there?  You cook it.

At one time you knew these important measures in the kitchen; the teaspoon, the tablespoon and the cup.  If you’re rusty or simply been out to lunch too often lately, here’s a little refresher:

  • 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
  • 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup
  • 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons

 

Now, get cooking again.  Nourishing yourself is the goal.  Do it for your health!

 

Le mélange parfait de l’art et de la science dans la cuisine…
