Bad Breath more Common in Overweight People

Researchers at Tel Aviv University are the first to identify a link between bad breath and being overweight. Alcohol intake was also a problem.

A new study provides dramatic proof of the inter-relationship between digestive contents (foreign cells) and your digestive-related immune system. Researchers have now identified that the endothelial cells that line your digestive tract sense the type of bacteria that are present in your digestive tract. In response to this perception, instructions are then given to form lymph tissue that is specific to keeping that particular foreign type of cell in check (a customized police force).
