Garlic
Is it true that garlic causes bad breath? My daughter is a picky eater and she dislikes vegetables. She keeps on telling me that garlic causes bad breath and doesn't like to eat it.
Hi jemma116!
Thank you so much for your advice. Yes, I've been experimenting with her food lately. I'm mixing veggies in it without her noticing it. The only veg she eats is Potato! especially baked! Though I encourage her to eat other veg, she refuses. but she likes oranges and pineapples though.

Try it without garlic for find out!
Ask her which vegetable she likes and to try a little plain boiled veg. Does she like raw veg that you can give her like carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumber. Sometimes we just have to encourage them to have a try. Apparently it takes 6 times to taste something to get to like it (or not!)
I know what you mean about your daughter not likely veg, I have an 8 year old grandson exactly the same. Sometimes I bake chocolate chip cup cakes with grated courgette in. I have also baked a chocolate beetroot cake that went down well. He even had second helpings.
Best wishes.
Does she like soup? You could whizz up the cooked veg.

I see. Thanks jemma116. I only sauteed garlic with other vegetables. I guess my daughter is just making excuses not to eat vegetables eh?
Depending on how much garlic is eaten when it is cooked and also eating any amount of raw garlic will make the breath smell of garlic.
If everyone ate garlic then it would not be noticed.
I ate a whole clove of raw garlic one evening, at college the next morning the whole room smelled strongly of garlic, so much so that everyone avoided me and they opened all the windows. I sat on the front row and the teacher was having a problem by the expression on his face :)
Eating raw parsley is supposed to get rid of garlic smells on the breath.
Sometimes garlic smell can also come through the sweat.

Children taste things stronger than adults, and it's normal for them to be turned off by garlic.
