Smell of Sweat (Was: You know you're a Raw Foodist When...)

[Guest guest]

Tommie,

 

I was reading through your list on your blog and noticed you mentioned

something about the smell of sweat. I just recently noticed I smell

different, and was wondering more about that, in particular. When I

got running I smell sweet, kind of like brown sugar and honey (like

Honey Bunches of Oats, if any of you ever ate that ;P). Just curious

as to whether this is a good sign or a bad sign.

[Guest guest]

Good morning, Jen!

One of the people on this forum went to hear Dr. Doug Graham recently

IN PERSON (I'm so jealous). She commented on how clean he looked and

how good he smelled. He's the person who crafted 80-10-10 and he's

been eating that way for a number of years.

 

I'm sure that the sweat takes on the properties of whatever you have

eaten in the previous 24 hours. Haven't you been next to a person who

isn't careful about their diet and they have an intensely bad body

odor? It's no accident. The body works with whatever it has

available. I have a post back in August of last year (I don't have

time to look it up now) where I first discovered that sweat in a raw

foodist is different from sweat in someone who eats cooked food.

 

Take care!

Tommie
