Top Holiday 'Bad Breath (Halitosis)' Food

I expected a “Holiday Foods that Cause Bad Breath” list to involve dishes doused in garlic.

But according to Dr. Harold Katz, dubbed the “Dentist to the Stars,” garlic is the least of my worries during the holiday pot luck.

Instead, he claims foods heavy with dairy and sugars are certain to cause rejection under the mistletoe. Apparently, both are incubators for bacteria that builds up in the back of our mouths — the source area for bad breath.

So here’s his list of Top 5 foods that will “cause breath bad enough to strip the varnish off a foot locker,” says Katz.

5. Candy Canes
4. Cranberry sauce
3. Candied Yams
2. Mashed Potatoes (especially if loaded with butter and sour cream)
1. Egg Nog
