Not 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.

I read the article: 》Akbari says the study could help researchers develop more effective mosquito repellents in the future. 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.

      Those 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.

        I 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

        Don'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.

To 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.
