Could have to do with the waste products from excess protein burned or fat burned. Can resemble acetone. If that is the case, eating slightly less protein could make a difference... I'm not sure what else it could be offhand.1

In my experience a change in meds can come with a change in taste that goes away eventually. A mild cold that messes with sinuses can do it too.1

I didn't know B12 deficiency was a possibility!1 -
Those tonsiliths mentioned in the last link smell awful, and the bad breath doesn't go away until they're cleared out. Vigorous, daily tongue brushing helps prevent them.0
