| Most women have dog breath |
| 2003-10-16 |
| A little levity this early in the morning. Bulldog (and you might want to change that after this...)? More than half of Britons could have breath that smells worse that their pet’s, according to a survey. EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! And women are the worst offenders, with three out of five failing a sulphur emissions test, according to research by toothpaste manufacturer Aquafresh. Are they required to get inspection stickers over there now? Kiss me, baby... "Some mouths may be dirtier than cat litter," dentist Brian Grieveson said in a statement that accompanied the research released on Thursday. That could possibly be the most disgusting thing I’ve ever read. "Most people in the UK do not realise that cleaning your tongue is as important as cleaning your teeth," he added. And we’ve all seen British dental work. Scots had the best oral hygiene, with only 10 percent suffering bad breath, compared to 27 percent in London. Throughout the nation, 52 percent were rated at a level that could be worse than that of a pet animal. "We are one of the last countries to understand the need to clean our tongue, with people in America and parts of Europe practising tongue cleaning routinely," said Grieveson. If I had breath like a litter box, I’d clean my tounge with a belt sander. Secretaries were the freshest profession, achieving 100 percent freshness in the survey of 1,000 people, while retail staff fared worst and received the warning: "You could be losing sales". ...unless you work at a pet shop. |

| #4 Patrick--Don't worry about their conflict of interest. A recent study by Phillip Morris says cigarette smoking will cure bad breath! |
