My 12 year old son has extreme body oder?

Q: He showers two or three times a day and uses deodorant constantly, but he has an oder to him. His paternal grandmother was like this as well. Are there medical conditions that can cause this? What would be the absolute strongest deoderant that he could use?

A: Some people just naturally smell worse than others(genetics). You obviously know how to cover a smell, deodorant, cologne. Anti perspirant may work but the aluminum in it is not good for your body( can increase risk for Alzheimer's). The smell comes from the bacteria eating the sweat, not the actual sweat. Some certain ethnicity's have more distinct smells, so it could possibly be a diet thing as well.
