Why does sweat stink and stain?

Answer 1

Human sweat is not the one who smells stinky or the ones who stain in the fabrics but bacteria and antiperspirants do. Sweat is composed of water so it is odorless and does not have color, bacteria are the ones who are responsible for the odors and antiperspirants are the ones who are responsible for the stains because of high acidity.

Conventional wisdom suggests that perspiration is the cause of body odor. However, perspiration by itself is basically odorless, but it is the bacteria and odors coming from other sources that are the real culprits. Anaerobic bacteria, which flourish when your body doesn't have enough oxygen, may well be the cause of your body odor. As the body's metabolism goes to work, it gives off odors which is the body's way of ridding itself of waste products. Any imbalances in metabolism will result in stronger odors. We suggest you visit our Bad Breath,Foot Odor and Sweaty Hands sections for in-depth discussions of some of the causes and remedies.

Since we are talking about waste products you must consider toxins as a possible cause of body odor. In today's world we are bombarded with toxins in our homes, food, and air that accumulate in the body when the organs of elimination cannot dispose of them. The liver and intestines may be clogged up, causing odors to emanate from the body, so we suggest a thorough detoxification program by cleansing the liver, kidneys and colon. At some point in the future we will have a complete section on this very important process.

Dietary imbalances, resulting in constipation or a deficiency of magnesium or zincmay be other causes of body odor. See our Constipation section for causes and remedies. Because of a person's body chemistry, some people who eat large quantities of meat or who are vegetarians have a very distinctive body odor which can be quite offensive. Some individuals cannot metabolize foods containing large amounts of choline, such as eggs, fish, liver and legumes. The result is a "fishy" smell. If you are one of these people, cut out these products and see if this is the cause of your odor. Certain foods and drinks, such as onions, garlic, curry, certain spicy foods, coffee and alcohol, are also prime causes. Fried and baked goods may contain rancid fats and oils that lead to body odor.

Sweat can develop a smell when it comes into contact with bacteria on the skin, which break down sweat into compounds that produce odor. The staining is typically caused by the minerals, salts, and oils present in sweat, which can penetrate into fabrics and leave behind residues that are difficult to remove.
