People can absolutely change their chemistry, body smell, blood acidity etc.. But it is very very difficult; change in diet, water fasting for weeks... Microbes in body have to be replaced and metabolism set into new equilibrium.
- WinstonSmith84 4y agoNot sure you read the article. It's about Carboxylic acids, not about microbes in the body. Also the article tells that a change in the diet didn't have any noticeable effect on participants, and finally that the level of attractiveness remains the same for the whole life.

The secret might be in adding new bacteria to the skin’s existing microbiome to alter its scent profile. Radical change in eating affects skin bacteria similar way.
- rowanG077 4y agoI'm interested in this! Do you have some sources/links?
- uri4 4y agoNo links,just follow "40 days water fast is a miracle" route
- rowanG077 4y agoThose aren't scientific tested at all. I'd like something more substantial then the snake oil salesman type of article you can find everywhere on the internet.
- uri4 4y agoI am not a salesman. Just saying diet affects your smell. But wait a few decades, I am sure they will do clinical studies and package it as a pill :) pharma is actually working on this
- rowanG077 4y agoDon't get me wrong, I think it's possible. But you'd have to be specific to affect significant change. I doubt hobbyist without medical training will be able to hit the sweet spot. That's why I asked for something with more substance. Most of these types sites are middle aged women who are under heavy influence of the placebo effect.
- Noumenon72 4y agoTo me it sounds like they did not track change in diet: > Any personal factors that may have changed over those months—from what each subject ate to the kind of soap they used—didn’t seem to make a difference. They know that any dietary changes could not have produced a noticeable effect since there was none, but not whether any dietary changes occurred or which ones. Also, extrapolating from these several-month intervals to "your whole life" can only be speculation.
