The foods that make you smell more attractive
Second, the skin. Chemical components from your food, once metabolised, also travel through the bloodstream and many of the body's tissues. Some end up being perspired through the skin, where they interact with the skin's bacteria and create a smell there, too. (Yes, sweat in itself is odourless; it's the skin bacteria that thrive in sweat that makes sweat smelly.)
Different foods have a variety of chemical compounds that come into play at different stages, resulting in varying levels of stink. But the foods with the most pungent results almost always have one culprit in common: sulphur. Surprisingly, though, some studies do suggest these odorous compounds can have an unexpected effect of making us more attractive.
