Default Why do ripe fruits -- especially when canned -- smell bad? -- excluding apples and cantaloupes

snipped excellent post for space

So it sounds entirely reasonable to me that what smells fine to others
may sometimes smell immeasurably-foul to you. People do have
different likes and dislikes in smells and tastes for a reason.

On an odd note, I've noted that my sense of smell has improved
drastically and become FAR more sensitive (almost too sensitive lately)
since I got back in the habit of taking trace minerals.

Just a personal observation.

It's almost annoying. At the moment, it's gotten bad enough to where
it's irritating to be stopped in traffic behind a cigarette smoker in a
car. I appear to be sensitive to that particular stench. (Sorry, but it
smells very bad to me!). :-P

And I'm not even one of those dorks that tends to have a real problem
with smokers rights. I'm against the ban on public smoking as long as
there are places for them to go and I can escape from it...

They recently banned all smoking at work. Needless to say, it's not
working. Visitors are going to smoke so the ban can only be enforced
against employees. No way in hell can security stop patients and
visitors from smoking even tho' they are supposed to try. G

I think it's hilarious that they even bothered to pass the "policy".

Now there are cigarette butts all over the ground outside of the ER
because they removed all the ash trays.

Duh.

Anyway, I'm wondering if Trace Mineral supplementation might be able to
help Radium develop a more normal sense of smell. I use "Natures Plus"
brand Trace Minerals. Inexpensive.

They also seem to help with Sciatica pain.
