Body odor, especially, underarm
odor, is caused by bacteria that feed off of the sebum that is excreted by sebaceous glands. These glands are more
numerous around hair growth. Obviously since there is more moisture in the arm pits there is a better environment
for bacteria growth.
The only food I've ever heard of causing detectable odor is garlic. And there doesn't
seem to be any connection with it and underarm odor in particular. It seems to eminate form all pores.
