Petition Funding and further research into Metobolic Halitosis.
We all know that Bad Breath is a Social Isolator which creates awkward situations to experience and also to be around. However there is increasing numbers to as much as 3 per cent of the population suffer from metabolism halitosis. This is a mutation in metabolism where sulfur compounds are made.
More details
New findings highlight that a protein called selenium binding controls these compounds however without this leads to increased methanethiol in the blood which releases sulfur compounds in the breath and is uncontrollable. We are asking for further research and funding available to conquer this embarrassing and socially isolating illness to be treatable.
