Bad breath: Halitosis is caused by germs and bacteria along the gum line. The bacteria metabolize proteins into a sulfur gas that causes bad breath. Decreasing protein. There are products that help clean the mouth and that can help too. Metabolic acidosis is a problem, but it in itself is not a cause for bad breath.
