Dr Stewart later realized that tomato stalks are filled with oil that smells like sweat and on cutting down on his tomato intake, he found that his body odor problem also went away. Dr Stewart revealed that oil in the stalks contained terpene which is broken down by the enzymes in our body to produce chemicals which react with antioxidant compound lycopene found in tomatoes which in turn led to body odor.
Dr Stewart added that the effect of eating tomatoes even in a single meal lasted for seven days. “It is really surprising the odor can last so long, after one meal. But it means people who eat tomatoes and tomato products always have a risk of smelling when they sweat”, he said.
