Why Does Garlic Make Your Breath Smell?

Season 1 Episode 14 | 1m 59s

Garlic is good for your body, great for your taste buds, but terrible for your breath. This episode looks at the plant beloved by chefs and feared by vampires. Once again we teamed up with the Compound Interest blog to break down the chemistry of garlic, and how to beat the bad breath it causes.
