Why does p**p smell?

Question

some people's smells worse than others and sometimes mine has almost no smell, while others it has a really bad smell that lingers for awhile. I'm being serious. I want a serious scientific explanation please.

Answer 1

It depends what you eat. A diet high in sulfur compounds, such as onion, garlic, etc., gives you really bad smell. The bacteria in the intestines break down the sulfur-containing compounds to volatile sulfur compounds.

Answer 2

Your long intestine is full of bacteria.  In fact there are more bacteria cells in the long intestine then there are cells in your entire body.

The bacteria are what are responsible for the smell.

Answer 3

The bacteria inside of the f***s(p**p) is what makes them smell so bad. Specifically, the bacteria produce various compounds and gases that lead to the infamous smell of f***s. You can get very sick by eating f***s because it contains so many types of bacteria and other harmful substances such as parasites.

p**p will vary in smell depending on the type of foods and drinks that you consume. Generally speaking, f***s will smell worse if you consume foods or liquids with many artificial flavors or chemicals in them. The bad smell of f***s will usually be reduced by eating more natural foods that do not contain any artificial flavors or chemicals. Also, the p**p of meat eaters usually smells worse than that of vegans.

Answer 4

smells are registered in our brain as either good smells or bad smells. Candy is a good smell, but a rotten animal would be a bad smell because the brain registered it so. Good smells and bad smells keep us from doing stupid things like eating a rotten carcass.p**p smells bad because it would be bad for your health to eat .

Answer 5

A little too much information there...

The biggest and nastiest contribution to the smell is the millions of (usually harmless) bacteria that live in your intestines and break down what is left of your food. Bacteria take large to medium sized molecules like proteins, sugars, fats and carbohydrates, which do not smell, and use them to make energy and more bacteria. In the process they break them down into small organic molecules like amines and thiols which smell very badly.

The change in smell depends on what you feed the bacteria on, i.e. what you eat. If you have a stomach bug caused by harmful bacteria growing in your intestines that can also affect the smell.
