To benefit from its \u201cmiraculous\u201d molecules, you need to crush, mince or chew the garlic to trigger the chain reactions that transform the\u00a0alliin into allicin and other organosulphur compounds, such as diallyl disulfide, allyl methyl disulfide,\u00a0allyl mercaptan, and\u00a0allyl methyl sulfide.<\/p>\n<p>Certain molecules are good for the health, but they also release malodorous gases in the oral cavity. Most of these molecules quickly break down in the digestive tract, EXCEPT allyl methyl sulfide. This malodorous molecule takes longer to metabolize. It spreads through the organism and thus spreads its characteristic odour in the respiration, sweat, and even urine.[1]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fight garlic breath: basic oral hygiene <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Part of the odour responsible for garlic breath comes from the oral cavity, so brushing your teeth thoroughly or rinsing out your mouth with mouthwash will get rid of some of the odour.
