All the “breath candies” that you’re used to seeing in the stores (Altoids, Tic-Tacs, Certs, Ice Breakers, etc.) all commit some kind of fatal mistake in the documented science of creating fresh breath. You see, by now the academic halitosis community knows what causes bad breath and we also know the exact conditions that create an oral environment in your mouth that is MORE LIKELY to produce bad breath.

So wouldn’t you think that a ‘breath mint’ should contain ingredients that make this oral environment less likely to happen? At the very least, there shouldn’t be anything in there that would make that oral environment WORSE.

You can probably see what I’m getting at. The top breath fresheners on the market ALL contain either sugar (which the bad breath bacteria absolutely feast on), or they contain an artificial flavor designed to cover-up rather than prevent bad breath and taste.

And NONE OF THEM Contain Any Clinically Proven, Breath-Refreshing Ingredients!

ZOX Breath Fresheners are the first breath mint designed to remove bad breath instead of mask it!

Now first let me get one thing straight. If you have chronic halitosis, then DON’T expect a breath mint to make the problem go away (although they are an excellent maintenance device if you are already using the TheraBreath system in the morning and night). Most bad breath research has been spent helping people who mostly have had chronic halitosis problems – the type of condition that every time you talk with a person you detect an odor from their breath.

But there is a type of bad breath out there that is common to everyone that has been largely ignored by researchers! It is referred to as situational bad breath. Situational Bad Breath occurs in 99.9% of the world population at one time or another. It happens when someone activates a ‘trigger‘ that causes the oral environment in their mouth to become more likely for the anaerobic bacteria to begin creating the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC’s) that cause bad breath.

In scientific terms, when your mouth encounters one of these triggers, it creates an oral environment that encourages the anaerobic bacteria to begin extracting sulfur compounds from specific amino acids. One amino acid (Cysteine) turns into Hydrogen Sulfide (the rotten-egg smell), and another amino acid (Methionine) becomes Methyl Mercaptan which smells sort of like dirty socks!

So Let’s Take A Real-World Example For A Minute

You get together with some friends one weekend for a bite to eat at a delectable restaurant that serves cheese fondue, with a strawberry daiquiri to cap it off.

You want to make sure you have fresh breath, so after dinner you pop in an Altoid or other such breath candy. STOP!

Although you may have a cinnamon-like taste in your mouth, what you’ve really just done is made your bad breath problem MUCH worse. Let me explain:

During dinner, you introduced two ‘triggers‘ to your mouth (protein and alcohol) that weren’t previously there and made your particular oral environment very eager to begin creating those foul-smelling VSC’s.

Then after dinner, by sucking on that mint, you actually gave those bacteria a food source they LOVE (sugar) to help along the VSC production. Yes, it’s true you TASTE cinnamon or mint, but that’s only a temporary cover up and what people actually SMELL is usually a lot worse!

But now there is ZOX – The First Breath Mint To Actually NEUTRALIZE Bad Breath Production!

ZOX Breath Fresheners were created because almost all the other ‘breath mints‘ on the market DO NOT take into account the principles of halitosis prevention! Most of them are created to TASTE GOOD and that’s about it. ZOX Breath Fresheners were created based on the same clinically proven Zinc/Oxygen/Xylitol principles used by the rest of the TheraBreath product line. It is literally bad breath prevention science packed into a roll of breath mints!

First, ZOX Breath Fresheners have no sugar. ZOX Breath Fresheners use xylitol which is a natural sweetener and has also been proven to have tremendous anti-decay properties.

They also contain zinc gluconate which is known for it’s ability to literally put a “straight-jacket” around those ‘bad-breath producing’ anaerobic bacteria. Zinc Gluconate blocks the receptors on the anaerobic bacteria so that they don’t bind with the amino acids. And if they don’t bind with the amino acids, then they don’t produce VSC’s!

ZOX Breath Fresheners contain no aspartame, no saccharin, and no artificial colors or flavors.

ZOX Breath Fresheners have been specifically created for the sole purpose of preventing bad breath, and removing metallic tastes, NOT for just covering them up. The longer you keep a ZOX in your mouth, the more volatile sulfur compounds it will neutralize.

Plus, each mint is only 5 calories, so you can have as many as you want.

The bottom line is that all-natural ZOX Breath Fresheners are the first and only breath mint to neutralize bad breath based on the clinically proven methods practiced by the California Breath Clinics over the past 10 years.

For control of ‘occasional‘ or ‘situational‘ bad breath there is nothing better than ZOX!

This Bad Breath Gum Can Be Used As A Bad Breath Cure

Have you ever walked by a tree, looked at the sap oozing out of it, and thought to yourself, “Hmm. . . that tree sap looks really good, I might like to chew on some of that!“? It sounds pretty strange when you think of it like that, but that’s exactly what the Mayans did when they walked by a sapodilla tree (that’s where the word “sap” comes from). And it a good thing otherwise the gum we chew today could have evolved in a very different manner!

Gum chewing has it origins back in ancient Greece. The Grecians chewed mastic gum (pronounced mas-tee-ka), which is the resin obtained from the bark of the mastic tree, a shrublike tree found mainly in Greece and Turkey. The Grecian women especially, favored chewing mastic gum to clean their teeth and sweeten their breath.

But the Mayans weren’t too far behind the Greeks – they simply got their sap from a different tree. But the tree the Mayans chose (the Sapodilla tree) actually produced a sap called ‘chicle’ which is exactly where much of the gum in the US comes from. And ironically enough, even though the Mayan civilization literally disappeared overnight in about the year 800, virtually the only Mayan practice that remained intact was that of chewing gum.

Meanwhile, the American Indians of New England were also chewing gum, but made from the resin of spruce trees. Although chicle-based gums would ultimately win out in the US, the first gums ever marketed in the US were those based from the resin of spruce trees.

Over the mid 1800′s, spruce gum was gradually replaced by paraffin wax gum to which sweeteners were added, however the one drawback of paraffin wax gum was that it required heat and moisture from the mouth in order to render it suitable for chewing.

It wasn’t until 1869 that modern day gum products first appeared. The famous Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was searching for a substitute for rubber, and thought that chicle (remember the sap from the sapodilla tree that the Mayans chewed on?) might be a good fit. He contacted the American Inventor Thomas Adams, and while Adams couldn’t get chicle to work as rubber, he had the brilliant idea to turn it into a gum base. And thus modern day chewing gum was born from information that the Mayans had known for thousand of years – chicle makes great gum!

As you can see, the evolution of chewing gum makes for an interesting story, but it’s not until recent years have manufactures figured out how to add a variety of ingredients which are responsible for an assortment of proven health benefits (besides fresh breath!)

Here are some other interesting tidbits. All of these are based from research performed at leading institutions around the world.

Pretty interesting, huh?

Now, from all you’ve learned about chewing gum, here’s what I think is the best part. Bad breath comes in different forms, different odors, and is caused by different strains of anaerobic bacteria.

If you have chronic halitosis, all the gum in the world is not going to stop it! You MUST use an oxygenating oral rinse, a non SLS toothpaste, and follow the instructions in this article Instructions For An Effective Bad Breath Treatment Routine.

However, if you only have occasional bad breath, or dry mouth towards the end of the day, or are simply looking for a solution to neutralize odors after a particularly offensive meal, or before a special moment, then I think you’ll find that the TheraBreath chewing gum will work wonders!

Now. . . Exactly what is in this gum that makes it so great at keeping your breath fresh? Simple. . .

First, it contains Zinc Gluconate. Zinc is a known inhibitor of acid production by mutans streptococci (the bacteria in your mouth that cause bad breath). These bacteria thrive in an acidic environment, so when you neutralize acids you kill bacteria (and you help prevent that annoying tinny, metallic taste). In addition, a high level of oral acids is bad for your tooth enamel, so you’re helping to keep a brighter, whiter smile as well. Zinc ions also perform an interesting function when they meet anaerobic bacteria – they “clog” up certain receptors on the outer cell wall of anaerobic bacteria, so that that “bugs” cannot create sulfur compounds. (Zinc gluconate is the best tasting of all the zinc compounds which can be used in oral products.) Lastly, Zinc Gluconate (and only Zinc Gluconate) has been proven to restore sour/bitter/metallic tastes. Studies have shown that people with long term taste disorders can experience a rejuvenation of their taste buds after long-term use of Zinc gluconate gum or lozenges (which is what is used in ZOX Breath Fresheners and all of the TheraBreath chewing gum formulas – as well as ALL Plus formulas.)

Second, I’ve used Xylitol as a sweetener, instead of sugar or Aspartame (Nutrasweet) like so many other chewing gums. Xylitol is an all-natural sweetener made from the bark of hardwood trees. It is also naturally produced in small quantities in our own bodies.

It is a sugar alcohol, with makes it safe for diabetics because the body doesn’t react to sugar alcohols the same way that it does to sucrose or glucose (found in most of the popular kiddy-flavored gums, such as Big Red, Juicy Fruit, etc.)

Most importantly, it has an interesting property in that it has been proven to fight tooth decay and is the only “sweetener” that does so – the complete opposite of sugar – which oral bacteria use to generate acids, which lead to tooth decay. NEVER chew gum that contains sugar if you want to maintain fresh breath!

Simply put, a good amount of xylitol provides a healthy environment for an oral ecosystem.

Finally, it also contains Oxygenating Compounds, specially designed to work with chewing gum base, to gently bathe your mouth and throat with oxygenating molecules designed to neutralize any and all volatile sulfur compounds, located in your mouth, throat, tonsils, and even in the upper reaches of your esophagus. Every time you swallow, your saliva – now loaded with oxygen and zinc molecules – bathes the back of your tongue, throat, tonsils area, and even the very beginning of your esophagus, a formerly ignored hiding place for anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria.

So while it’s true that chewing gum has been around in many forms for many years, it’s NEVER been as beneficial as it is today. If you want fresh breath, a bright smile, and a healthy mouth, then try some of the TheraBreath Chewing Gum today!
