| Japanese researchers found that when they studied the dietary intakes of nearly 1,000 adults, those who consumed the highest levels of dairy, especially yogurt and yogurt-type foods, had the healthiest gums | |

| It is because of the probiotics in yogurt a.k.a. "good bacteria". Probiotics actually protect gums against bacteria. In addition, another study in 2005 also found that yogurt can stop the growth of the bad breath causing bacteria | |

| Well I can tell you that I'm going to start eating a lot more yogurt. And then perhaps I'll get that promotion and maybe even a kiss from my wife if I can rid my mouth of this bad breath. | |
