Not only is garlic good for you, it seems to have another hidden power
They were then divided into three groups: the first group consumed raw garlic, the second took garlic capsules while the third abstained from garlic completely.
The next step was that the men were instructed to wear sweat bands in their armpits for 12 hours so that the odour could be collected.
82 women were then asked to smell the sweat samples and rate each one in order of pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity and intensity.
The results showed that women found the men who had eaten garlic more attractive and the researchers have come up with a couple for reasons for the findings.
We're not quite sure it would have this effect but it's worth a shot...
One is that the 'healthy' sweat produced by men eating garlic smells better because garlic is a nutritious food and the other possibility is that garlic's antibacterial properties make armpits smell somewhat sweeter.
The method might have been a bit mad but the results are interesting nonetheless.Explore more on these topics:
