Smell plays a role in mate selection by assessing genetic compatibility through olfactory cues.

✕Not SupportedSoaps with fragrances, parabens, phthalates, or triclosan can negatively affect gut microbiota and act as endocrine disruptors.

◐Partially SupportedGenetic diversity in mating is generally preferred in nature to produce robust offspring, and inbreeding can lead to amplified rare diseases.

✕Not SupportedThe speaker does not use toothpaste due to concerns about fluoride and ingredients like SDS and diatomaceous earth.

◐Partially SupportedBad breath and body odor are primarily linked to food quality and lifestyle, rather than a lack of hygiene products.

◐Partially SupportedAvoiding soap on skin most of the time and using water or tallow body soap may be a better alternative.

◐Partially SupportedMany products applied to the body and ingested are not food and can be problematic.

✕Not SupportedWomen on birth control may choose genetically less compatible partners.

◐Partially SupportedWomen on birth control select partners with more similar genetics, while women not on birth control select partners with more diverse genetics.

◐Partially SupportedStrippers not on birth control earn significantly more tips around their ovulation period compared to women on birth control who earn consistent, lower tips throughout the month.
