  1. Try skim milk…my breath is fine. Do you drink it REALLY cold?
    Maybe it’s the whey protein.

  2. Me too, and I finally researched it.

    “In milk, the odor of sour milk is caused by relatives of the bugs that create bad breath, when they break down the LACTOSE protein and allow the release of the amino acids which in turn end up becoming Volatile Sulfur Compounds, exactly the same compounds found in bad breath.”
