A persons natural scent is biochemical bouquet as unique as a fingerprint it broadcasts all sort of information about our genetic makeup.
For years, research has been done on the genes that governs the major histocompatibility complex(MHC), a component of the immune system.
Mating with a person whose MHC varies notably from one's own is biologically ideal, providing offsprings with a stronger immune system.
When geneticist, Carole Ober of University of Chicago studied a small South Dakota religious community of Hutterites, and who, happens to avoid all scented products, found striking results.
Women were far more likely to marry men with substantially different MHC genes, indicating that something like chemical signals reflected in the body odor, helped dictate those choices.
The study also showed that couples with similar MHC's were more likely to suffer miscarriages...(hmm.....)
So, we will pick people with a differnt MHC as our own
And we can tell just by sniffing and unconsciously,
our brain detects these genetic makeups
that tells our minds, yes, we are, or no we're not, attracted to this person....
another fun fact,
apparently the smell of men, can help a women relax...
so next time you feel stressed girls, you know what to do....sniff...sniff...
oh, and they regulate mood and hormones too...
Interesting.....
