Gum is meant to freshen your breath, but is it possible to get bad breath when it loses flavour or when the mint taste starts fading? Or does you breath become ‘neutral’ (lol don’t know how else to describe it) like it doesn’t smell at all? Is that even possible, for someone’s breath not to smell at all?

I hate the idea of having bad breath, it’s almost like a phobia. I always pick the onions out of my food and usually don’t eat garlic. How long does bad breath last after these things? I know garlic is worse.

Thanks!
