The Science Behind Garlic Breath

Some people love garlic, but there will be a noticeable smell on your breath after you eat it—garlic breath. It stays in your mouth for hours. How does the little thing cause so much trouble?

In fact, the chemicals that cause the bad smell are not in the whole garlic. They are only produced when the garlic is damaged. After you eat garlic, it breaks down into small molecules (分子) in your stomach. One of these molecules is allyl methyl sulfide (AMS, 烯丙基甲基硫醚). It is so tiny that it can move through your stomach and quickly pass into your blood. Your blood then carries it to your lungs (肺). When you breathe or speak, AMS comes out together with CO₂. Then here comes garlic breath.

AMS also makes its way into your sweat (汗液). In the UK, doctors reported a case of a patient who made dolls and noticed black marks on the dolls' heads after touching them. They found that the patient ate a lot of garlic, and that her body had difficulty breaking down AMS. So, when she touched the dolls with her sweaty hands, the chemicals reacted with iron in the dolls, causing black marks to appear.

Now that you know what causes garlic breath, what can you do about it? Brushing your teeth after eating garlic can make your mouth smell better. You can also cover it with a stronger, more pleasant smell until it dies down. There are also studies showing that eating some other foods—apples, lettuce, mushrooms, milk and rice—can help lessen the garlic breath.

话题2：饮食与健康

① You probably already know that how you eat before bed affects (影响) your sleep. But do you know that your daily eating choices may also affect your sleep? Now more and more research shows that dietary (饮食的) patterns can affect sleep quality and lead to sleep problems.

② In the US, a large percentage of the population has poor sleep quality and sleep problems. At the same time, most Americans eat far too much fatty and processed food and too few fruits and vegetables. Although it’s difficult to find out whether these two facts are causally (有因果关系地) connected to each other, more and more research points to the relationships between sleep and diet.

③ Erica Jansen and her group wanted to get a deeper understanding of the possible relationship between sleep and diet in Americans who are 18 and older, so they studied whether people who stick to the government’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans get more hours of sleep. Using information from surveys collected from 2011 to 2016, they found people who didn’t follow the advice such as eating enough fruits and vegetables had shorter sleep periods.

④ Besides, in a separate study, they followed more than 1,000 young adults aged 21 to 30. These adults took part in a web-based dietary study made to help them increase their daily servings of fruits and vegetables. They found those who ate more fruits and vegetables over a three-month period reported better sleep quality.

⑤ Research carried out outside the US also shows that healthier dietary patterns are connected with better sleep quality and fewer sleep problems. These include the Mediterranean diet—a diet rich in plant foods, olive oil and seafood, and low in red meat and added sugar.

⑥ However, there is not one magic food or drink that will improve your sleep. It’s better to pay attention to healthy dietary patterns during the day.
