After obesity surgeries, some patients may experience badbreath (halitosis). This is often mistakenly thought tooriginate from the stomach. However, anatomically, there isa significant distance between the stomach and the mouth,making it impossible for odors to travel from the stomach tothe mouth. The cause of bad breath originates from the oralcavity.

The water footprint is a measure of the volume of water that is polluted, evaporated, and consumed. The water footprint is examined in three groups: green, grey, and blue water footprint. The blue water footprint refers to the amount of groundwater or surface water used to create a product. The green water footprint refers to the amount of rainwater used to create a product. The grey water footprint is the amount of fresh water required to eliminate pollutants resulting from the production of the product. The use of water in food production is an important measure. Especially in the production...
