Karl Kruszelnicki鈥檚 books have always had eye-catching titles featuring quirky stuff, from 鈥減igeon poo鈥� to 鈥渕unching maggots鈥�, but his Bum Breath, Botox and Bubbles tops the lot. Thankfully, Christine Wu, professor of periodontics, in the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago has a suggested cure for that all-too-gross affliction, bum breath. An interest in traditional medicine lead her to a halitosis remedy: drink black tea.
