Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Tonsil stones cause bad breath?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that tonsil stones can cause bad breath (halitosis), with some calling them a known cause and describing odorous sulfur compounds; one review notes tonsillar halitosis is thought to arise mainly from tonsil stones, though tonsillar causes account for only a small share of halitosis cases.
