I’d like to chime in and mention that I do not think body odor is a sign of anything good, and reflects an inappropriate diet or lifestyle situation.
Ray has mentioned that healthy people smell odorless. A simple though experiment supports this conclusion. Would you rather be intimate with someone who smells bad with nasty armpit, mouth, and genital BO, or someone who smells/tastes pleasant. I think this BO is a reflection of internal health.
Today I noticed an increase in sebum and foul BO from eating a steak. Luckily watermelon and coconut milk were able to neutralize the smell, but I take this as ruminant meat is no good for me. I will be experimenting with seafood to see if I have the same experience.
Coincidentally, when my armpits and dry, skin is baby smooth, and I have no BO, I feel very good, very sociable, positive, energetic. When I get wet armpits/BO, I feel more anxious and nervous. This is independent of environmental stressors. I could be sitting in my room with the fan blasting on me and have wet armpits, BO, and have anxious thoughts creep in about my life and where I’m headed.
I’ve found that eating coconuts makes my skin and hair dramatically less greasy, and feel very pleasant, as well as dry up my armpits and BO.
As @baccheion mentioned before awhile ago, androgens increase sebum production. Testosterone can increase musk smell. Steak being high in zinc and selenium needed for T3 and especially the zinc required for T conversion. I think it doesnt say much that watermelon and coconut milk can somehow get rid of all these supposed negative smells. There is little to nothing in watermelon or coconut "milk" that feeds the thyroid or hormone production in general except carbs. Micros are terribly, terribly low.
