"Hot flashes are a very common symptom in both perimenopause and menopause. Over eighty percent of women experience hot flashes. The exact cause is unknown. But scientists suspect it has something to do with our changing hormone levels and our internal thermostat, the hypothalamus, which is located in our brains." Hypothalamus blood tests:

"Much Body Odor is caused by skin bacterial activity on sweat which has dried on the skin - and this makes people who sweat excessively more likely to be affected. In some people (the excitable 'greyhound/racehorse' types) the sympathetic aspect of the nervous system is dominant and they tend to sweat more, whereas in others (the calmer 'bulldog/carthorse' type) the parasympathetic aspect dominates and they tend to stay calmer. So keeping stress levels low is important for people who sweat a lot...Tactics such as learning relaxation methods and stress coping techniques along with improved nutritional balance, all help to reduce this tendency...In women menstruation and stress often dramatically increases the degree of Body Odor experienced and careful attention to personal hygiene and dietary excellence is called for."

"In milk, the odor of sour milk is caused by relatives of the bugs that create bad breath, when they break down proteins in milk (and all dairy foods). A reaction takes place where 'the bad breath bugs' extract sulfur compounds from the amino acids in these proteins. Specifically, the amino acid Cysteine is converted to Hydrogen Sulfide (the rotten egg smell) and Methionine becomes Methyl Mercaptan (which smells like a cross between old socks and garlic.)"
