Garlic May Give You Breath That Could Kill, But It Gives You Body Odor That's to Die For

While you shouldn't ever expect to have a steamy make-out session after eating garlic (well, it will be steamy, but because of hot breath if you decide to proceed), you should know that garlic can make your body smell sexier. Weird: it has inverse effects on your breath and your arm pits, but new research from Charles University in Prague and the University of Stirling in the UK points to this being the fact of the matter.

Now, before you go dousing yourself in body spray or copious amounts of cologne, maybe you should just up the amount of garlic intake in your diet.

42 male "odor donors" gave up their stench to science, and the results of three separate studies showed that women preferred the men with ample garlic in their diet.

The results are over on Appetite stating:

"…the odour of donors after an increased garlic dosage was assessed as significantly more pleasant, attractive and less intense (study 2), and more attractive and less intense in study."

Men in the study had to wear pads on their under arms for 12 hours to capture the sexy smell that apparently drove the nostrils of women wild. A study found garlic can aid in the fight against certain bacteria strains, fungi, and parasites.

That conclusion could be what makes it such a powerful deodorant, for your arm pits–not your breath, as a reminder. Basically, fellas, just up the garlic to up your dating game, but avoid the garlic when actually on a date.

Really, men could just rely on garlic to make their sexy musk more appealing, rather than ever bathing themselves in cologne–i.e. don't be fooled by the statistics things like "Sex Panther" offer.

However, once again we must remind you, eating this much garlic to smell attractive will get you the same reaction Brian Fantana got, but in terms of your breath.
