Understanding the Impact of Diet on Body Odor

The video discusses how diet affects body odor and its impact on romantic relationships. A study published in the journal Chemical Senses compared the body odor of vegetarians and meat eaters. Men followed a diet of either red meat or no meat for two weeks, and their sweat was collected on cotton pads. Women rated the odor for pleasantness and attractiveness. Results showed that non-meat diets led to higher attractiveness ratings. The study's methodology and results are explored, with a note on the lack of data for pescetarians.
