There is a specific body odour which emanates a sweet acidic body odour smell, and I put up with it for many years.
In my twenties, to early thirties, I was using products to cover-up this repulsive smell, and instead of masking it as I thought it would, it made the odour worse.
Hygiene was not the issue, and I could not understand why I was still experiencing this body odour.
In my mid-thirties, I changed my diet to vegetarian and stopped eating the flesh of animals, including marine life; however, I still ate the by-products from animals such as dairy and eggs.
I read a book called “Don’t Drink Your Milk” by Dr Frank A Oski and Dr David Phillips. Immediately after reading this book, I stopped eating dairy foods.
Eggs and honey are no longer part of my plant-based diet—the reason why I had not mentioned honey before is that an insect makes it.
I noticed over some months that the acidic body odour sweet-smell was no longer present as it had been in the previous years.
I suspect it had to do with clean living and being on a meatless diet. For optimum health, I take supplements daily.
I do not use scented body sprays, perfumes or deodorants as I used to all those years ago. I learned that what we eat determines the outcome of our general wellbeing.

Thank you Claude for sharing your experience regarding my article about your body odour and how you were able to resolve it.
I had been a meat eater for most of my life and suffered from bad body odor, I changed my diet to a vegetarian and find that I do not suffer from bad body odor any more, and also feel better knowing that I am not causing the slaughter of innocent animals just to please my craving for meat. I also wish to add that I feel a lot healthier and have more energy since changing my diet. Yours sincerely Claude
