Whats a big turn off Bad breath or Body odour?

Well... bad breath is bad, but, I'd have to say that body odor is worse. Bad breath can be caused from bad teeth as well as from health problems such as with tonsils but CAN be "helped" with brushing, mouthwash, breathmints, or gum. Body odor can be caused from sweating, not taking a regular bath, not using deodarants, and can also be related to a health problem. Usually though, a nice long bath or shower with a clean smelling soap and a follow-up with deodarant and/or perfume or cologne will help tremendously! If not, check with your Dr. to investigate other causes... same goes with the breath.

Both are pretty bad!! However if I had to choose, I'd say the worst turn-off is body odor. It's EVER so easy to take a bath or shower and use deoderant, etc.
As far as bad breath, yah its bad, but I've known people who brush 3 times a day, use mouthwash, floss, and all that jazz and still wind up with halitosis. Sometimes its the food you eat, sometimes its a bit of a dental problem (like a cavity or something going on with the gums) or maybe people forget to brush their tongue, which can hold tons of smells from eating, drinking, and mouth bacteria.
So I try to give the bad-breath-people the benefit of the doubt, since maybe its just extra hard to get rid of that stinky breath! :-)

That is a very hard question, but I would have to say body odor. Because lots of people have bad breath. It just maybe means that you ate something that made your breath smell bad or something. But, if you have body odor, then it just means that you are flat out "dirty"...
