'Shamboiling': The Newest Drug Trend Among Teens.

Interesting "ASK SCIENCE" post on Reddit:
Q: Scientists of Reddit: What's craziest or weirdest thing in your field that you suspect is true but is not yet supported fully by data?
Top Voted Answer:
This is kind of out there, but I believe hormonal birth control plays a role in a subset of divorces and in the birth of children with poor immune systems. I think most people are familiar with the t-shirt study that found women were attracted to the smell of men with dissimilar immune systems and that they felt t-shirts with similar immune systems smelled like their father or brother.
Women on hormonal birth control did not perform well in that study - they often picked similar immune systems as more attractive. A massive percentage of women are on birth control during their dating years and when they meet their husbands. After marriage, another percentage of those women will stop taking hormonal birth control in order to have children. What happens then?
If you have a woman who marries a man who is a poor genetic match - someone she may not have wanted to be with if she wasn't on birth control - when she goes off of her birth control, it stands to reason that her perception of her husband may change. Given that her body and personality will be going through a change while her hormones are re-regulated, her husband's view of her may change as well. It would not surprise me if this subconscious change contributes to divorce rates. In addition, should those hypothetical people have children, the child may have a poorer immune system due to the lack of genetic variance between its parents.
Edit: Ladies, please don't let this scare you off of your hormonal birth control. The point of this thread was to share something weird that *isn't fully supported by data.* I do not have any studies that say that these changes in odor preference actually cause divorce or poor genetic variance in children. Mate selection is confusing and odor is not the only determining factor (you don't need a scientist to tell you that!) The only pieces of information here that are supported by any data are that women are capable of smelling similar and dissimilar immune systems and that their ability to do that may be altered when they are on birth control. Nothing more.
