Most people think that bad body smell is caused by bad hygiene, but recent research offers another opinion. According to Medical News Today, it is the smell our bodies give out when bacteria are breaking down protein into particular acids!

It can be a sign of certain disorders in some cases. A fruity odor, for example, is a diabetic symptom induced by high blood levels of ketones. Unpleasant situations can arise as a result of terrible body odor.

That’s exactly what occurred to the Adler family as they prepared to return home after their holiday. On Wednesday night, the entire family, including the 19-month-old daughter, was escorted off an American Airlines flight after other passengers allegedly accused them of smelling awful.

The Adler family was crushed by the allegations, and they even went around the airport asking several people if they smelled. They believe the company had some hidden motives for escorting them off the airplane.

The airline made arrangements for shelter and food for the family that night. They finally made it to Detroit on the next day and reconvened with their luggage.
