Scientist's Find Cause of Body Odor - Tiny Demons -
07-23-2018, 07:21 AM
We've all encountered them - malodorous individuals that give clear signs that we should have nothing to do with them. Sometimes Jesus has infested whole nations and cultures with BO, and the French come to mind with their obsession of nauseating perfumes and overly scented soaps.
Take away all the obfuscating "scientific" names like "Staphylococcal bacteria", "enzymes", "chemical 3M3SH", "pheromones" and "precursor molecule", and we wind up with what we've known all along - demons.
In much the same way that rectal demons are the cause of homerism, BO demons have the potential to drive many to sin unless cleansed (Numbers 8:21) and Saved® by Jesus.

Will a New Discovery About Body Odor Lead to Better Deodorants?
Biologists now understand a key part of the molecular process that results in body odor—and deodorants might just be able to disrupt it
By Emily Matchar
July 20, 2018
There’s nothing like being on a crowded subway in summer to make you consider body odor. Why do we smell in the first place? Why can some of us manage to get away with skipping a shower after the gym, while others reek after a quick walk to the park? And how does deodorant work (or not)?
. . . .
Recently, British researchers made a discovery that furthers our knowledge of bacteria and the odor producing process—a discovery that may one day lead to more effective deodorants. The biologists, at the University of York, found that several species of Staphylococcus bacteria cause the formation of the smelliest compounds. So a relatively small number of bacteria species cause an outsize portion of smelliness.
But how do these bacteria make unscented sweat compounds so smelly?
“We had discovered that a small number of bacteria were able to produce the odorous chemical 3M3SH from an odorless precursor molecule that we secreted from the axilla glands in our underarm,” says biologist Gavin Thomas, co-author of the study published in the journal eLife. “We wanted to figure out how these Staphylococcal bacteria were able to achieve this feat and have been trying to figure this out over the last few years.”
The team eventually decoded a key step in the process: the structure of the transport protein that allows bacteria to recognize and consume sweat compounds. Understanding this protein means that, in theory, new deodorants could be developed to interrupt the process. Since it’s only a relatively small number of bacteria that produce the worst smells, those bacteria could be targeted while the others are left alone.
“It is definitely helpful to have a more complete view of the biochemical, enzymatic and genetic background,” says Chris Callewaert, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, San Diego, who studies body odor, of the new research.
. . . .
As to why we smell in the first place, Thomas says, “It is possible that the same bacteria have co-evolved with Homo sapiens as part of a mechanism to produce volatile signaling molecules—pheromones to be more precise—with roles in sexual attraction and mate selection.”
. . . .
“Bad smell is associated with bad hygiene,” Callewaert says. “At the same time, people with body odor—and certainly the ones that are aware of it—will wash themselves much more, use lots of deodorant and will change their clothes very frequently. So it is not about bad hygiene, but about the microbiome. It is simply not well understood by the public.”
And it has not always been so taboo. Deodorants and antiperspirants have only existed relatively recently in human history. While people have been using perfumes for thousands of years, the first bacteria-killing deodorant wasn’t trademarked until 1888, and the first antiperspirant didn’t hit the scene until 1903. It took clever advertising campaigns to convince Americans that these products were necessary, emphasizing the humiliation and romantic rejection faced by the smelly. But the manufacturers had major hurdles to overcome before deodorants became the $18 billion industry they are today. After all, some of our fairly recent ancestors seemed to have rather enjoyed the smell of a ripe armpit.
As Thomas says, “I recall Napoleon supposedly writing to Josephine when returning from the battlefield, ‘I am coming home—don’t wash.’”

I for certain fact that often girls are mislead to think they can make themselves clean by means of a douche. What is lesser known is that douche devices are gateway host to numerous invisible demons, thereby inserting themselves into the unsuspecting vaginies of ladies who are none the wiser.
I should make it clear, I never douche. Ever.
Instead, I recommend the tried and true use of Lysol for these purposes. I've come to love it so much, I named my youngest daughter after the stuff (before she got sucked away in the terrible Illinois tornado when she was just a babe, but that's ancient history now).

body odor is caused by bacteria breaking down sweat and is largely linked to the apocrine glands not "tiny demons"

Why should we take the word of a smelly, indolent teenage troll over the Word of God?

Can you quote Bible verses to prove this?

These so-called apocrineglands sound suspiciously apocryphal (in the secular sense of the word).
Vaccinated by the love of Jesus!!!

So, what you're saying is, that these bacteria are the tiny demons?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

You're confused, dear. As a professional amateur home educator, I have spent literally dozens of hours researching information necessary to answer any questions my children might be insolent enough to ask. I can assure you the LORD personally directs each and every cell of the human body (Colossians 1:17). Nothing in this world is unknown to Him (Isaiah 40:12), and He has shared with us the knowledge mankind needs (2 Timothy 3:16). No where in the Holy Bible does He mention "bacteria."
Furthermore, the very word itself comes from the Greek bakterion which means "small staff." That is to say, Darwinists made up and sold this little microscopic fantasy to mock Christ. You see, every time someone says that word, Satan laughs knowing people are talking about a Greek homer's own little dingwallace. Do you really think it's a coincidence that since science has led in the field of academia, the Gays have been coming out more aggressively?
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.
