A study published in the journal "Molecules" reveals that a spoonful of Greek yogurt is helpful in eliminating the bad breath developed after eating garlic. Ohio State University researchers found that consuming some natural yogurt may help get rid of the smell of garlic from your breath. They found that whole-milk plain yogurt are able to neutralise the sulphur-based compounds that cause the unpleasant smell.
The researchers placed equal amounts of raw garlic in glass bottles before adding different yogurts to the same bottles. They discovered yogurt was 99 per cent effective at reducing the garlic compounds, specifically, yogurt with high levels of protein and yogurts with high fat content.
Greek yogurt, which has a higher protein content than natural yogurt, may be the most effective way of combating garlic breath. Along with flavoured yogurts, which would potentially work as they are advised to be consumed shortly after a garlicky meal.
