BODY ODOR
Do Vegetarians Smell Better?
-----------------------------------------
I found this the other day somewhere.
If anyone knows of this url, let me know.
You are what you eat, in more ways than one. Whatever you eat can affect
your body greatly, from the energy you get, to your mood, to the odors
your body produces. The most basic example of the latter concept is eat
a piece of raw garlic, wait a few hours and gauge the resulting odors
emanating from inside and outside your body.
Moving on to a simple vegetarian vs. non-vegetarian example, heat up
your oven to 98.6 degrees and place a tomato and piece of meat on it.
Check back in a few hours to compare the rate of decay and the resulting
odors.
Now, there are other factors to consider as certain foods tend to
produce unpleasant body odors regardless of meat-content; garlic (as
mentioned earlier) and curry (or other strong spices) diets can produce
sharp results. However, generally, a diet of predominantly plant based
intake will result in much more pleasing body odors than one consisting
of the rapidly decaying flesh of dead creatures every time.
While there has not been a scientific study to back up this assumption
(how do you quantify something on the level of what smells "better?"),
informal polls and interviews generally result in the concession that
when it comes to body odors, vegetarians usually win out. [see note below]
Personally, I've always shared this idea (that of vegetarians smelling
better) with friends. This sentiment came from my observation that I've
preferred vegetarian women for sharing (how to best say this) very
intimate relations, as their odor and taste tend to be much more
appealing. Others have shared similar thoughts on the subject with me,
expressing preference for the most basic of odors emanating from one's
pores to specific claims about (trying to keep this clean and also,
making it apply to males and females here) "love juices."
I started thinking further along this track, and one day, on the Howard
Stern show, he had a guest who claimed he could always smell the
difference between vegetarian women and carnivores. Sure enough, they
brought out six or seven women and this guest proceeded to pick out the
three vegetarians among them solely by "smelling them."
So, take this all under consideration. And, if you're one of those that
is still thinking about whether to go vegetarian ... Do it because you
will smell better. Do it because knowing that will boost your confidence
and self-esteem. Do it for someone you love.

Note: A New York Times (1998) poll on the streets of New York City found
that "vegetarians smell and taste better" and "have more stamina and
energy in the sack." The latter part of that survey, likely coincides
with studies relating to diet and how restricted arteries affect sexual
performance due to blood flow.
