"  Got milk?  You better have some of it on hand this Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, especially if you&amp;#039;re planning to down a garlic-heavy meal while celebrating with your guy.  A recent study from the Department of Food Science and Technology at The Ohio State University found that drinking a glass of milk while eating a garlic-heavy meal will keep bad breath at bay. Our big question: How?  We called nurse practitioner Marcelle Pick and author of Is It Me or My Hormones?, to find out all the science behind it. &amp;quot;Garlic produces allyl methyl sulphide or AMS and milk reduces the concentration of the volatile compound,&amp;quot; Dr. Pick said, adding that drinking fattier milk (think 2 percent or whole) works better than skim milk.  It&amp;#039;s the water and fat that does the trick, she says, so lattes, ice cream, or yogurt will probably have the same impact. So, don&amp;#039;t shy away from that plate of garlic-y spaghetti with a side of garlic bread when your guy takes you out for Valentine&amp;#039;s Day. Just make sure you chase it with a glass of milk\u2014or a latte\u2014before he goes in for a kiss. Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
