Food affecting odor question

[cambece]

I always hear about vegetarians/vegans being able to smell an odor meat eaters and/or cheese eaters give off. Do foods really affect the odors our bodies emit? (excluding passing gas, by odor I'm talking about what comes out of our pores.) Is it possible to say drink a lot of jasmine tea were the scent starts coming out of the pores?

Yes.

Odor individuality partly results from genetic individuality, but the influence of ecological factors such as eating habits are another main source of odor variability.

Certain foods, such as meat, onions, garlic, exotic spices, and drinks such as coffee and alcohol can lead to body odor.

High doses (10 to 16 grams/day) of choline [Most choline in foods is found in the form of phosphatidylcholine. Milk, eggs, liver, and peanuts are especially rich in choline] have been associated with a fishy body odor, vomiting, salivation, and increased sweating. The fishy body odor results from excessive production and excretion of trimethylamine, a metabolite of choline.

Thanks for the reply. It funny about the choline because the protein portion of my diet has consisted mostly of milk, eggs, and peanuts.
