Do Low-Carb Diets Cause Bad Breath?

True. Bad breath (halitosis) is an unfortunate side effect of low-carbohydrate diets. Here’s what happens: the diet causes your body to burn stored fats for fuel rather than carbohydrates. As the fat burns, chemicals called ketones build up in the body and are released through the breath and urine. Unfortunately, they’re smelly.
