Years ago Daddybob told the story of his very smelly dog; when DB fed the dog the surplus coconut oil after frying his eggs, the dog became bearable to be near, but when the coconut oil stopped, the smell started again.
Coconut oil is now being marketed, at least here in Australia, in a form for pets, which contains a higher proportion of the brown (skin) fragments that tend to settle eventually in the bottom of the jar (and is extremely rich in certain nutrients). Apart from its health benefits, it works as a pet deodorant. And the health benefits are startling. www.kokonutpacific.com.au has a page of information on this.
I seem to recall that Oriental nations find Westerners unpleasantly odoriferous, and blame the kind of food they consume. Whether that is so or not, I found that when I started using coconut oil my body odour changed, and more so when I substituted coconut milk or cream for dairy products. No more stink. Then whenever I bought dairy cream or milk and used that instead of coconut, back came the "western underarm" odour.
Just to check what others were saying, I entered a search string "dairy food body odour" in Google.
http://searchwarp.com/swa242467.htm said: There are two general causes to an excess, offensive and or pervading sour smell body odor, breath. One is *dairy,* especially milk, yogurt and cheese. The other is the* stomach*. Milk, yogurt and cheese are foods are sour foods. The digestion and or deterioration of milk yogurt, etc. tends to produce a sour smell, body odor, especially when eaten to excess. There are many cultures, countries that eat little or no dairy, unlike Americans. Those that consume milk, yogurt and cheese regularly, daily tend to have a sour smell, body odor, breath if their digestion is poor, weak.
Other sites were saying similar stuff. One said that "too much" dairy was at fault; my experience tends more to say "hardly any".
Then when I added "underarm" to the search string, the comments got far more specific...
