It is true that certain foods and drinks can contribute to bad breath more than others. This surprising and handy list includes some of the many common culprits:

Chocolate (sugar actually feeds bacteria)
Ice cream (like all dairy products)
Italian food (most contains garlic)
Pizza (usually contains garlic and cheese, and often onions)
Cabbage (contains sulfur)
Brussels sprouts (contains sulfur)
Wine, champagne, beer (dries out the mouth)
