So please after your shower use some deodorant.

Do your homework. If a person bathes or showers daily, and puts on
clean clothing, he needs no deodorant. It takes 24 hours for odor to
form.

I've done my homework. Body odor is caused by bacteria and most
commercial soaps do a poor job of killing that bacteria. So unless you
use some kind of deoderant your body odor will return quite quickly.
Its more like 4 to 6 hours on average. Of course it varies from person
to person depending on physical activity, diet and other variables.

Well, not on my body.

I have several sources for that statement. One is a book on running
by a surgeon who said he ran about five miles to the hospital, toweled
off, and put on his "doctor" clothes without showering. He showered
when he got home after a day's work. It may have been in James Fixx's
book, but I'm not certain it was that one.

Another source was an article in _Smithsonian_ magazine. It dealt
primarily with pheromones but included the statement about human
perspiration. That was perhaps 15 years ago but you could probably
find the article easily in an index.

Another "source" (a live one) is a woman member of our running group.
Like the surgeon, above, she just changed to her "office' clothes,
drying off in the process, and worked all day. Occasionally we would
get together at quitting time, about eight hours later, for a couple
of beers. Neither I nor any other member of the group noticed any
unpleasant odor.

Consumer Reports, some time ago, told readers there was no need to buy
soaps like "Dial" that claim all sorts of antibacterial properties,
because ordinary soaps, if used regularly, do an adequate job of
suppressing odor-causing bacteria.

You've been brainwashed by the companies that make a fortune scaring
you into thinking you'll stink if you don't buy their product. You've
heard it so many times you believe it.

Nope, I simply put more trust in my nose than in some poster on usenet.
Would you do it differently?

No reason you should trust me; you have no idea who I am. That's why
I cited sources, most of which you can check.

But you can't trust your nose, either. A great deal of research has
demonstrated that.

Just tossing in my 2 cents here, but having lived in Germany for 5 years
and having been to france and england, I can tell you that america is not
the fattest country.
If it is then Germany comes in a close second. With all that yeast beer,
french fries, schnitzel and tons of other fattening foods, not american
McDonalds, this is stuff that these people have been eating for years.
There are ALLOT of very obese people in europe - and the UK, they have some
of the, well, thickest girls I have seen outside of samoans.

Hey, Fat boy, nice guy you got running your ****ty little country.

Go eat another family meal by yourself. No wonder your country is so
big.

Sounds like you've already been super sized, bloater boy.

Don't act so superior, my observation is this. On long international
flights is not the fat americans that are the problem. Its all the
europeans that seem to have an aversion to deordorant. Jesus Christ
people this is the 21st century, I know you have access to running
water and soap. So please after your shower use some deodorant. have
some compassion for the rest of us who get stuck sitting next to your
foul carcasses.

What amazes me even more is the fact that you all seem to be oblivious
to it. Should someone say something to you about it, well instead of
being embarrassed you get highly offened and you think its rude. Well
let me clue you in, its rude to stink it offends other people.

I still find it incredible that here in the civilized west, there is
still a group of people who flaunt their ethnicity on the wind so well.

Oh and by the way we american may be the fattest people on the planet
but all indications are is that you brits are running a close second.
