Quoted from Amigalander

I've always believed body odor (under arms) was caused by bacterial or other microbial growth.  Why would nonnie's smell less?  Don't we nonnies have more bacteria growing on our skin than secretors?

Nonnies smell less because we need extra help in getting rid of the foul-smelling little animacles.

My belief is that nonnies don't provide as much food for those stinky bacteria to eat because their BT antigens aren't secreted in sweat or skin oils.

Quoted from Patty H

Do you think I might begin to smell less when I have been on the diet for a longer time?  I have only been on the diet since mid-October, 2010, so less than a year.  I know many on this forum have been on it for years!  Is not being so smelly is something I can look forward to?  

I think so.  

Can I know some animacles that linger and feed with our bodies that create smell?

I want to have a deal with them .

Depends on what I've been eating.  If I follow my food recommendations there is little to no BO and my hair is less oily.  I get stinky/oily if I chow down on gluten, dairy, and and/or beef.  (In fact, I just asked my husband to smell my hair this afternoon because I thought it was stinky!)

I'm still a non-stinker since but use my essential oils as a form of prevention

but did you knew that we might be able to smell our futur *good fathers* while choosing our partners ....... this is what I found out also that men might commit terrible errors in using normal over the counter perfumes, insted of true creations for their individual needs as found in essential and oriental oils (which mostly all are organic)

i voted little to none.

the only time i ever had a "really strong" odor problem was when i first switched from anti-perspirant to natural, non-aluminum deodorant. I figured it was a detoxing thing.

since then (and this was probably 20+ years ago now)... i have had only a very few instances where my scent was stronger than normal, although not terribly so. Each time, i had a few ingrown, underarm hairs. Once they were removed, and healing, the scent went away.

I have never understood why someone would ever want to stop such an essential metabolic process as perspiration!

How about a lot of money making companies?   
I well remember the jingle in the late 60's: "don't wait to be told, you need palmolive gold" As kids we used to follow it up with our own version: "don't wait til you stink, you need palmolive pink" Shows how easy it was to indoctrinate society, even at primary school level, as to what is the new norm eh?

I don't use deodorant unless I have a stressfull day ahead of me. Bronners lavender soap seems to linger on my skin all day, so that may suffice. I've asked trusted friends about having BO and the answer is no, so I know it's not just the inability to smell myself. I have a remarkable "palate" for both taste and smell, which creates problems for me sometimes dealing with chemicals, pets, mold and mildew, food smells, and just about any intrusive aromas. I've taken to carrying a small bottle of essential oil to gatherings where there are pets just to tolerate being around them. Yeah, it's weird, but I try to be discreet.

I'm exactly the same... however also allergic to essential oils
