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.

Self-exam: The most common cause of bad breath is a need to work on your oral hygiene. Brush, floss, floss again, run the floss across your tongue, look at the back of your throat to see if there are white chunks in your tonsils (huge ones can smell horrible & stay around) or a mass or ulcer that might really be a necrotic cancer (doubt it). Not a brain tumor. Next get with your dentist, good luck.
