Read through this Twitter thread for a really thorough explanation of what’s going on. In a nutshell, it’s a paid media blitz by a PR firm whose client list includes Barilla pasta and others with an interest in seeing keto disappear.
I first saw it mentioned here in Nina Teicholz’s Twitter feed.
That’s it! I’m going to make a t shirt that says “Ask me about my crotch!”
Just kidding. It’s annoying how so many little things (my t shirt) just encourages more and more of a made up thing to snowball. Even Ken Berry’s rebuttal added fuel to the fire (I forgive you Dr. Berry).
I will, however, be pleased to inform anyone who asks me about it in real life about the advertising firm and associated companies losing money because they can’t sell their garbage food.
Wow! Yet, not surprising… once I think about it. This is truly evil shit. People are literally going to continue suffering (for literally YEARS) and dying without dietary changes. And all these companies care about are their profits.
It’s like the cigarette companies denying the science linking smoking to lung cancer (and so many other terrible health outcomes). At least I hope so. Unfortunately, big food might be bigger than big tobacco ever was. And it will probably fight harder to keep the ship from sinking.
I wish more people would realize the freedom that lies on the other side of their carb addiction. The hope is that the science and people who actually LIVE keto spreading their influence, one person at a time, will keep the snowball rolling. The worry is that it will be too little, too late for so many people.
I suspected this thing was 100% orchestrated when I first saw it. But still…mind blown.
This idea might have something to do with common advice to enhance the taste of one’s sperm. More berries and citrus, and less red meat…
But the explanation they make is totally ridiculous thinking about all the people who have gone keto to fix a candida problem. My fear of high carb crotch is much worse than my fear of a healthy keto crotch.
I agree Taka and may I just state for the record that I was a much bigger sweater when I was eating carbs. I feel like a powdered baby’s bottom now that I’m on keto. (So take that, Barilla!)
Firstly I’m a Kiwi (New Zealander) so the following is not a political statement, however I couldn’t resist the opportunity to say it!
FAKE NEWS!!
Having seen the syndicated version in our local news NZ Herald http://nzh.tw/12208936
I noted some peculiar and ridiculous claims. Keto made him insulin resistant and put him at risk of going from TD1 to TD2! Is that even possible?
So much rubbish published without any scientific basis; this irks me no end as those without much in the way of scientific inclination will read and take on this rubbish as fact. 
It seems to me that a high carb/sugar diet has led women to “smell” a certain way (probably chronic low or high levels of yeast infection) and that has been accepted as the “norm”. Now let’s remove carbs/sugar - no more yeast etc now we smell differently - not like the “norm”. However the conclusion would reasonably be that the low carb/sugar derived “smell” is what would be reasonably considered “normal” in the absence of sugar loving yeasts/bacteria.
I really enjoyed this video about keto crotch https://youtu.be/CDYFfQSJjRM
What? That’s idiotic. It’s the equivalent of saying that keto puts an amputee “at risk” of growing a foot back and becoming a cripple. In type I diabetes, the β-cells of the pancreas have been destroyed by the body’s immune system; the patient is never going to grow new ones and “progress” to type II.
In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny: “What a maroon!”
As a Kiwi, you can’t really understand how much that kicks in my fight-or-flight response.
Hey now, we still don’t know what the consequences of Bergermeister’s suggestion of 7-10 cups of veggies will do to people, besides make them pass bricks.
They can’t technically become type 2 but they can develop severe insulin resistance & end up with ‘double diabetes’. Not from eating low carb though.
Haha that is a funny article. I’ve never once heard this happen to anyone nor myself. Even the pictures with the articles make no sense.
The real kicker is,
“It may go away, otherwise you should see your OB/GYN for treatment,” said De Fazio**. "Your doctor may advise you to go back to a balanced diet.**
So wth is a balanced diet if it isn’t real foods and no carby junk?
This absolutely is a thing. On my women only keto group on fb it comes up ALL THE TIME. It is called keto kitty. I can show you screen shots from the last year.
Just sayin
That would be sad, but hey! More bacon for the rest of us! 
Americans especially have been trained to believe in all kinds of “conditions” that somebody’s product can “cure.”
Some smell might be common during adaptation but shit balances out on a well-formulated ketogenic diet. If one is eating poor foods like nuts and seeds I could see this recurring. I’d look elsewhere, otherwise, as stated, show me the science.
I think you’re on to something… perhaps a product to address this terrible condition?
Really? I haven’t noticed it at all and neither have most of the folks on here. Is it during the initial phase of adapting/carb flu?
