It’s fair to say that child star Britney Spears has had her fair share of problems in recent years, and just as it looks like she’s put her troubles behind her, US gossip magazine National Enquirer has published a story claiming that the mother-of-two has bad breath, due to her extreme diet. Representatives of Spears have come forward to deny claims that were quoted from an unknown source, saying that ‘Britney’s breath absolutely reeks!’
According to the source, it’s the pop-stars diet that is causing the decline in oral health, as they added that ‘It must be the acids in her tummy or something from this crazy diet she’s on because her breath will start smelling twenty minutes after she brushes her teeth.’ Her meal plan has been described as ‘absolutely brutal’ including egg whites, whey protein shakes and lean meats, as she attempts to keep in shape for her role as X-Factor judge in the US. This combination of foods can apparently cause halitosis by ‘producing breath-affecting by-products or ammonia in the body.’
There doesn’t seem to be any evidence to support this other than rumour and hearsay, and Internet site Gossip Cop has reported that Britney’s people are saying the rumours are ‘not true’; they have also denied that the so-called source is a friend of hers or has ever even met the star.
