    Bad breath is caused by bacteria lurking under the teeth and under the tongue, which decomposes sulfur-containing gases produced by proteins, peptides and amino acids. There are two sulfur-containing amino acid components in protein, namely cystine and methionine. The sulfur compounds produced after their decomposition are hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide.
