my breath smells weird. almost like when a person has their tonsils removed. is this in any way a sign of brain tumor or cancer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely Not: The vehicle you are driving, commonly called a body, is fantastically complex engineering and most of what is going on inside quite hidden. While there are complex relationships between internal processes & outward appearances, odors, etc, what is near the surface is mostly a result of what is on the surface. The odor of our breath is a function of what’s in the saliva & bacteria living there.
