| Can you smell a vegetarian? Posted: 9/9/2009 8:51:07 AM | | I read a profile sometime ago by a self-confessed vegetarian :), who stated that he preferred those who responded to be vegetarian as well. The reason this was an issue for him he said, was that when performing oral sex, he found that vegetarians tasted much sweeter. I don't remember him mentioning whether smell was an issue. I would guess that the answer might be yes, as if something is not in your system, and you are sensitive to its presence, than yes smell and taste would be an issue perhaps? | |

| Can you smell a vegetarian? Posted: 9/9/2009 9:02:54 AM | ^^^ Interesting, but that makes good sense. Taste and smell are strongly related senses. Our sense of taste is dependent on our sense of smell. People with greatly diminished sense of smell experience very little taste.
If a person exudes pleasant odours because of their diet it stands to reason they would probably be have a pleasant taste too.
Hmmm, I think its time to dedicate myself to science and do a little field research on tasting and being tasted. Okay, maybe a field isn't the best location.  | |

| Can you smell a vegetarian? Posted: 9/9/2009 9:08:54 AM | ^^^Interesting and honest commentaries moanie!
Flesh foods (meat) is a form of super concentrated protein, hard to digest for most people, and leaves a residue of uric acid in the tissues. In its natural state the body is more alkaline, and therefor disease resistant and smelling and tasting better. It is said that a tumor cannot "live" in an alkaline tissue. Hmm. This opens up a new way of self health care...

| Can you smell a vegetarian? Posted: 9/9/2009 11:29:11 AM | Thank you Moanie. Just another of the many sacrifices we must endure to broaden the pool of knowledge on smell and taste of our species.
I've read and heard before how cancer cells cannot live in an alkaline environment.
If you google for "cancer alkaline environment" and "cancer alkaline diet" you will find considerable information. For example:
Cancel Cells Cannot Thrive In An Alkaline Environment At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live. This phenomenon has given rise to a variety of treatments based on increasing the alkalinity of the tissues, treatments such as vegetarian diet, the drinking of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, and dietary supplementation with alkaline minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, cesium and rubidium. http://www.healingdaily.com/conditions/cancer-prevention-measures.htm
How does an alkaline diet prevent cancer? An alkaline diet leads to a high alkaline body ph. This high alkaline body ph results in alkaline tissues in the body. Alkaline tissues hold 20 times more oxygen than acidic tissues. Cancer cannot live in an oxygenated atmosphere. If the cells are oxygen rich they will prevent cancer. Therefore while an acidic tissue will be an ideal ground for cancer to develop as well as spread, an alkaline tissue will destroy a cancer cell. Having a lot of green vegetables and fruits along with alkaline water can save you from cancer. An alkaline diet requires one to eat foods that are high alkalizing while avoiding the acidifying foods.
An alkaline diet is very beneficial in fighting many diseases apart from cancer. Alkaline supplements are good ways to include alkaline food in your diet. Over cooking of vegetables leads to their nutrients being destroyed. Alkaline supplements make sure one gets enough alkalizing foods in a day. Also alkaline water is a good alternative to ordinary water. So if you want your body to be cancer free as well as healthy and energetic adopt an alkaline diet and make it your way of life. http://ezinearticles.com/?Alkaline-Diet-and-Cancer:-Cancer-Cells-Cannot-Live-In-An-Alkaline-Environment&id=458737
From what little I've gleaned so far I understand achieving an alkaline pH level in your body is somewhat difficult, but apears to be worth the effort, especially for someone having at high risk with cancer in their family. | |

The reason this was an issue for him he said, was that when performing oral sex, he found that vegetarians tasted much sweeter.
Obviously he does not know the well known taste fact that floats around the POF pond. Pineapple = very good. Asparagus = not so good.
Once I do find a willing participant,,,I'm gonna start an experiment regarding what we put into our bodies and the taste of ummmm,,,,,well ya know. Hopefully I could come back with some pretty cool "mix and matching" with some pretty good aftertastes. Okay,okay,,,,a guy can wish can't he????  | |

Such statement opens up more nonsense. If you have verifiable facts to support such claims, then by all means provide them, I'd be the first to want to learn more.
From the medical sources I have reviewed, all of which contain a liability waiver as do the "self-cure diet" ones, stating words to the effect:The information on this site is strictly informational and is not intended to treat, diagnose, or cure any disease.
... In a human body the acid/base balance is regulated at an extreme level. Tight regulation is imperative to our survival, as many of the chemical reactions that happen in the body can only occur at a specific pH. If the pH of the body were outside of the normal range then these chemical reactions would be greatly impaired, and disease may ensue. There are many reasons why the pH may become unfavorable to health- from outside influences such as toxins and poisons, to problems within the body such as kidney failure or pulmonary (lung) problems.To make sure that pH changes do not occur, the human body has three main mechanisms designed to keep the pH balanced: The carbonic acid/bicarbonate system, the phosphate buffer system, and the protein buffer system. Each of these systems are designed to operate either inside or outside of the cells, and within a particular part of the body. .....If something were introduced to the body that caused the internal environment to become more acidic, then one of the buffering systems would kick into gear- usually by acting as a base and accepting or quenching the excessive protons and then eventually eliminating them. This is why it is thought to be very difficult to achieve anything but a transient change in pH with diet changes....{Jake Psenka, ND Naturopath, Phoenix}.
...The data for the study was collected from over 22,000 men and women aged 39-78 years old. The study concluded that a more alkaline diet (high fruit and vegetable intake and lower consumption of meat) was significantly associated with a more alkaline urine pH. Furthermore, the finding that diet influenced urinary pH held true even after the study investigators adjusted for potentially confounding factors such as age, body mass index, physical activity, glucose, ketones, high blood pressure, smoking, and diuretic medication.
From this study is seems clear that urinary pH does in fact relate to dietary acid-base load. This study also suggests that urinary pH can be used to monitor change in consumption of fruits and vegetables...
Basically what this says is a more fruit/vegetable orientated diet changes the urine pH. I suppose that's where we have to point our scent detectors when we want to smell a vegetarian.
Obviously vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, bioflavinoids, etc., etc. are healthier than and unbalanced diet ...lol isn't that common sense? | |

You post and challenge someone to provide verifiable fact.

Have you noticed other patterns of odour specific to people having a particular diet or belonging to a particular race or from a particular part of the world?
Yes OP! I have noticed a delicious scent from the skin of Cuban people. Though not vegetarian, their diet is cleaner due to their soil which is devoid of chemicals in general and other poisons. They smell like babies. I once identified (my nose did) a Cuban in a room filled with hundreds of tourists. And he was 30' away!!
They, on the other hand, think we stink. They have to boil the sheets where the tourists slept in order to get rid of the stench.... ouch!
I noticed too that everything that is manufactured locally is free of harmful chemicals. E.g. their cigarettes are pure tobacco, laundry detergent is freer of gunk and leaves no residue on the clothes, perfumes and tanning oils are amazing!!
Miss it. MN | |

| Can you smell a vegetarian? Posted: 9/11/2009 12:31:33 AM | Walts :) Maybe you should consider leaving a trail of fresh fruits and vegies up the path to your door lol Or what ever exotic substance or delicacy you have in mind for your experimenting. You could always suggest to any takers, that you were willing to fill her or his fruit basket on a daily basis if only they would allow you a small taste....... and you may want to consider some alterations to your own diet, at least temporarily
MN: well, its looking more and more like what goes in, comes out just about everywhere We need a POF event in ' CUBA  | |

Such statement opens up more nonsense. Ok, so that one ^^^ belongs in the common sense thread ... or the hate thread?
If you have verifiable facts to support such claims, then by all means provide them, ^^^That one goes to the redundancy thread, as another poster has already substantiated in full technicolor and giving a clear explanation as to why...
I'd be the first to want to learn more. Where is the bs thread?
So what is the point of message 60, ML?
Oh I get it! That you now are starting to change your mind about ND's as being quacks? Is that why you quoted one?
Basically what this says is a more fruit/vegetable orientated diet changes the urine pH. For the record, it is the pH balance of the WHOLE body. The tests can be done on the saliva, perspiration, etc. as well as urine. It even shows up in the iris of the eye. A trained Iridologist can verify that, easily.

Vegetarianism the self-righteous option of the wealthy...all around the world, people not so privileged have to eat what's put in front of them and as for smelling people's farts? that's fine if they like brutal stunning blows to the head...

| Can you smell a vegetarian? Posted: 9/12/2009 8:28:58 PM | Best than Ever raises a really good point. To be or not to be a vegetarian is only something that the relatively rich can consider.
If the World Were a Village of 100 People
If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
The village would have 60 Asians, 14 Africans, 12 Europeans, 8 Latin Americans, 5 from the USA and Canada, and 1 from the South Pacific
50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation.
So the next time you are sniffing out vegetarians perhaps you should consider this. There is more. Google "If the world were a village . . . ." | |
