The bacteria in your body is the prime source of armpit odors and unfortunately, it loves gummies just as much as you do. The refined sugar in these sweets tends to promote an overgrowth of yeast which converts sugars to alcohols. This can cause you to smell the opposite of sweet.

In addition to refined sugar, reducing white flour, hydrogenated oils, and other processed foods can all help you improve the way you smell.
