IIRC it was something like the piss and/or jizz has male pheromones in it so if you put it in your armpits, it replaces sweat stink and attracts :females: far more effectively.

Wasn't that how they tested for diabetes once upon a time? Something about how the urine would taste sweeter. I don't remember what thread I read that in, but it was concluded you had to have a good palate to be a physician back then.

Yes, it came up in the Sawbones episode on diabetes. Although I think it only works for type 1?

If type 2 gets bad enough/left untreated long enough it will eventually spill glucose into the urine. Also back when drinking diabetic piss was the only diagnostic tool medicine had, type 2 diabetes wasn’t really a thing.

Because you drink a lot of hoppy beer

https://learn.kegerator.com/off-flavors-in-beer/

quote:

11. Catty (p-menthane-8-thiol-3-one)

Perceived As:
Tomcat urine, catty, black currant leaves, tomato plants

Approx. Flavor Threshold:
15ng/l

Importance:
Catty is usually considered an off flavor, but can make up an important part of some ales, — especially IPAs — because the compound p-menthane-8-thiol-3-one is associated with the flavor and is produced by several hop varieties. It is also often present in the early stages of oxidation. If present because of oxidation it is always considered an off-flavor.

Effect of Aging:
Increases with age to a point; than begins to decrease.

Caused By:
It is caused by contamination of raw materials, or raw materials (hops) naturally producing the compounds that bring about this flavor.

How To Avoid/Control:
Brew with different hop varieties that don’t produce the catty compounds.
Ensure your malt is clean.
Minimize oxidation of wort or young beer.
Store beer properly at cool temperatures.
How To Practice:
You could brew a small batch IPA with hop varieties known for their “cattiness;” Citra, Simcoe, and Strisselspalt are a few. You could also dose your basic practice setup with blackcurrant leaf extract or blackcurrant leaf tea. This is another I haven’t personally tried, but it’s worth looking into.

Commercial Example: Odell’s IPA is a commercial example that has a strong catty character as part of its flavor profile.

Diabetics or people on low-carb diets can often excrete more acetones and ammonia in their sweat and quite literally smell like piss!

Doesn't acetone give off a sort of fruity scent?

I mean low carb can be a useful dieting strategy. It’s just that it should mean “lean meat, veggies, nuts, avoid empty filler calories like white bread and potato chips etc” not “fruit, beans, and hummus make you fat, 72oz steaks fried in lard make you thin”

fool of sound
Oct 10, 2012
Yeah. Basically intentionally inducing ketosis by eating shittons of fat is not healthy. Don’t follow diets that ask you to do so unless a doctor tells you to.

I'm trying a low/no carb diet. It's working pretty well and all I really miss is sugar. Haven't noticed any smells though. I've basically just been eating tons of salads with oil and vinegar dressing, roasts with veggies, and lots of breakfasty foods (eggs, sausage, grilled tomatoes).

It's only been a couple of weeks, but it seems to be working. Gonna give it a couple of months, but I guarantee my need for beer or pizza will eventually win out.

Tomtoes are made of carbs my dude. Cut that poo poo out. Try adding some grated cheese in their place.

Also, mix liquor with diet sodas for a simple low carb alcohol fix.

counterpoint: cutting out carbs entirely will make you sluggish and make working out suck rear end - if you're not eating any grains or starches or whatever, I think you're fine with a couple of tomatoes a day.

Really? The stupid pee strips I'm using are saying I'm OK and the label says 1 cup has like 6 grams of carbs. I already had to say no to my Aunt Susie's manicotti this weekend....this diet is getting worse and worse.

Around 2013 I actually tried low carb bc of some SA thread. The sane kind not the bacon kind. Problem was I was also trying to be vegan and get a lifter’s amount of protein in.

Good thing I like tofu.
