Grapefruit May Make Women Seem Younger

 

Mon Jun 20, 5:43 PM ET

 

NEW YORK - A study of smells shows that the scent of grapefruit on women makes them seem about six years younger to men. However, grapefruit fragrance on men does nothing for them.

 

The study by the Smell and Taste Institute in Chicago was conducted by Institute director Alan Hirsch. Hirsch smeared several middle-aged woman with broccoli, banana, spearmint leaves, and lavender but none of those scents made a difference to the men.

 

But the scent of grapefruit changed men's perceptions. Hirsch said that when male volunteers were asked to write down how old the woman with grapefruit odor was, the age was considerably less than reality.

Ever since the end of the orange season, it so happens, I've made the grapefruit my citrus fruit of the day. Too bad its effects only work one way. laugh.gif

Yeah...I was kinda just kidding. Who wants to be perceived as younger than they are?
