Side-Effect of Fenugreek Consumption

Fenugreek seeds may protect against cancer and improve muscle mass, but they can make your armpits smell like maple syrup. 

Make sure you see the "prequel" to this video Benefits of Fenugreek Seeds (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-fenugreek-seeds/).  What happens to armpit odor of those embracing entire diets full of plants? See Body Odor Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/body-odor-diet-2/). Then check out Asparagus Pee (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/asparagus-pee/) for another funky odor video. 

Fenugreek is certainly something I've been trying to incorporate more into my family's diet based on all this amazing new data. It's strong stuff though! I'd be interested to hear any tips on how folks have been able to sneak it into their diets. 

I make these mean chia seed-encrusted, dried mangoes that I sprinkle with fenugreek powder using the mix-a-yummy-with-yucky technique of adding less-than-delicious things to one's diet (like putting amla in smoothies). I find home dried mangos so yummy I figure I could rub them with almost anything!
