It goes without saying that this isn’t scientifically accurate, but it is true that certain foods alter the way we smell (spices and alliums like onion and garlic high among them). But in studies people have been shown—somewhat surprisingly—to rate the smell of people who’ve eaten large quantities of garlic as more pleasant. A diet rich in fruit and vegetables tends to improve the way people smell, while red meat and processed carbohydrates encourage corynebacteria, which causes sweat to develop an unpleasant, cheesy smell to many noses. So it’s not true that you are what you eat, but you may well smell like what you eat…or smoke, as the case may be.
