Armpit smell ? It’s the hormones in your food

So I had bad armpit smell , even after cleaning it was there a few hours later. I talked to my family doctor recently and she told me to switch to organic food which has no hormones infused into the animal or the dairy. It's like a night and day difference in a week. Anyone else had this issue ?

Bacteria dude.
But continue to eat local meat without the hormones. That's better for all of us anyway.

After my doctor poisoned me with cipro and flomax i was pretty much forced to go on a 100% organic diet. I was amazed at all the changes in my body. No more migraines, clearer skin, my athletes foot started healing.

Thread reminds me of a thread back from either the Gaf days or some other videogame forum I was on where people were recommending not using deoderant or most soaps... to switch to like only natural fat for washing or something... With the theory being that your body stinks because it's overcompensating for you adding so much deoderant and perfumes to your body (from soap, etc) and that washing every day is getting rid of your body's natural odor-fighting oils, and if you just give that all up, and wash like once a week you'll stop smelling. The story was the same for every advocate of it: They stunk horribly for a month, but then the stench magically went away.

I was like... guys... that stench isn't going away https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_adaptation

It's bacteria causing the smell not hormones, and you should really be using deodorant if you are producing smells.

I REMEMBER THAT THREAD!

it was about not using soap, only water. He said his skin and hair were a lot nicer, and he didn't have any kind of smell. He then proceed to tell us that the soap we used affected our body's natural way of cleaning itself or some shit lol

That thread was a nightmare and I felt so bad for everyone who was agreeing, but even worse for the people who had to put up with them.

OP, just wear deodorant unless you have a medical condition that prohibits you from doing so. It's 2019.

Some of the hygiene threads on the old forum were terrifying.

I never understood that behavior.

There's a dude I don't know in some of my weekly 'old friends meetings' that always smells like old sweat. It's like, fuck, you're with people man, put some deo or take a shower every 4 hours. :lol

Deo should be mandatory to anyone as soon as you're in your teens.

EDIT: And for that dude, it's not even 'just cologne', it's just nothing,

I remember it as well and it is the same half true reasoning how detox cures and so on caught interests.

For op, if you really have odor problems use mild smelling or odorless deodorant rolls. They don't have to be antitranspirant with aluminum salts. Organic food can make you smell funny like alcohol, garlic and stuff.
