“The smell of acetone is one of the symptoms of diabetes. In this disease, due to an insufficient amount of insulin or resistance to it, the body cannot absorb glucose and begins to process fats and proteins to provide itself with energy. As a result of the breakdown of these substances, ketone bodies are formed – they are responsible for the pungent odor. The smell of vinegar can be a sign of endocrine disorders, tuberculosis and vitamin D deficiency. If a clean body smells of vinegar after taking a shower, you should be worried. “Sour sweat odor and excessive sweating after physical activity are normal,” Ulankina said.
Disorders in the thyroid gland can cause increased sweating and, as a result, increased body odor. The doctor added that body odor can be affected by consuming large amounts of spices, semi-finished products and ready-made sweets.
