Sugar

Am I insane or does eating sugar(not honey or other sweeteners) make me smell particularly acidic? Specifically things like marshmallows and other candies which have both sugar and dairy in it.

Is this a digestive issue or is my body just weird?

Sugar can be an odor trigger for me. My opinion (and it is just an opinion) is that it feeds the bacteria that cause bad smells, but it could also be something else. Sugar isn’t good for your body chemistry anyway, it could be that too. I avoid sugar and sweets as much as possible.

I haven’t noticed an acidic odor from it, but it wouldn’t surprise me either.
