âThe best way to fight body odor is through prevention.â

1. The sweat doesnât stink, itâs bacteria that cause foot odor
The so common cheesy, ammonia-like, or malt-vinegary smell is caused by bacteria feeding on (waste material in) sweat and dead skin cells.
When the bacteria eat, the sweat decomposes and during the accompanying chemical process isovaleric acid (and propionic acid) are released. Those organic acids cause the foul odor.
