Do they smell better on a vegetarian diet?

Question

This is a serious question and I really want some serious answers. In your absolute honest opinion, do you think they smell better on a vegetarian diet? I feel that mine do and even though there are days that I let more, especially after eating certain things like cabbage or broccoli.

Okay, I would like to ask this then. If a food makes us let smelly ones, is that our bodies way of telling us not to eat those foods?

Michael H, there is nothing to be embarassed about when it comes to digestion. I do believe the smell can tell us a lot about our current health condition. I was actually receiving some very well thought out answers to my question. Maybe you can try and be a little more positive, seriously.

Thanks to everyone who made a positive contribution to this discussion. As far as you hatemongers go, I feel sorry for you people.

Answer 1

What.... you hear them too? the voices? what did they say? your voices are cabbage or broccoli.... mine are carrots and celery but I haven't noticed a smell.

Answer 2

I work in health care and I never heard of flatulence being monitored for odor. There is an ICD-9-CM code for flatulence (787.3) but this is only used when the patient has excessive gas that causes discomfort. There are no sub classifications for broccoli, pinto beans, cabbage, really rank ones, silent but deadly, etc.

Try Beano.

Since we're on the topic; I will leave with a joke:

A guy goes to the doctor and says "Doc, I have really bad gas and it makes a sound like HONDA! What's wrong with me?" The doctor says "You probably have an abscess."
The guy says "What do you mean?" The doctor says "Oh, you know, abscess makes the fart go HONDA!."

Okay; one more, this is an actual child's poem in Hindi:

Ada pada, kaun pada, mamu jee kay goree pada

English "One way or the other, who farted? My uncle's horse farted."

Answer 3

I'm sure you've had more than your share of time wasters on this one. But I will try and make a positive contribution to the question.
Consider this. Food can be in transit in your system for as much as a few days. It is warm and moist in there. What would happen if you left a plate of meat in a very hot (98 degrees) and moist room (sauna) for that length of time? Well, meat will putrify in your gut. The conditions are perfect for it. You have experienced the results!

Answer 4

so you know your smells eh!

Did you know natural gas is without a smell as is pure CO2

both killers yet we can not smell them so what makes you know if smelling nice is good for you or that smelling bad is bad for you.

As you preach so much pooh and are an expert in the subject. How do you think your words smell like to others?.


addition...
multiplicity
well what can you say to this ?

Answer 5

I wouldn't say they smell as bad, no.

They have a different smell - its still strong - just not as "GAHHH GET THE GAS MASKS OUT" but it isn't something you want to go around smelling all day if you know what i mean.


But definetly not as bad.

I have noticed that they are more frequent, because i am eating more fibre.

Farting around 7 times a day is considered healthy i believe.

Answer 6

Are you real Ash????

Seriuosly is this your serious question???

You think that your body tells you to stop eating something that makes your "they" smelly??? Then......, you can't eat anything at all, as even the veg diet will make your "they" smell.
Make all your preaches on healthy veg diet ridiculous aren't they ???

Just be happy with your body

PS: Please think & rethink & rethink & rethink again before you post an issue

Answer 7

Yes for sure , I'm a veggie and its only if I eat onions a lot I smell. I certainly produce more gas. Because veg pass quickly through the body they don't produce the same gases. eat is in your body for up to 3 weeks so it's no wonder eat eaters stink.

Answer 8

I avoid cabbage which fills me with gas which is sorta anti-social. Don't have the same problem with anything else. Have never had complaints even about garlic which I always eat cooked

Answer 9

I've met several Asians who smell bad who eat mostly vegetarian. The thing is what sauce or spice they use to cook with. Kimchi, thats horrible! Then again many red meat eaters have a 'greasy' smell. But you are so right saying YOU SMELL like what YOU EAT.

Answer 10

yesss, i know what your talking about. &it's true that people with healthier "diets"/way of eating have clearer skin, shinier hair, better sense of smell/ vision and even smell better..i find all of these things to be true for me. example; i sweat at the gym &yet i smell like pure water..//.. everyone else stinks and carries around their nasty dead animal b.o. all over the place, it's gross. so yea..eating better makes you smell better ^,^ xoxox
