I'm from east Asia and I don't have under arm odour. One way to tell if you are of the specific genetic disposition is that seeing if your ear wax is wet or dry: if you have dry ear wax, then you know you lucked into the 'no under arm odour' gene (ABCC11).
Im east asian also and no body odor, during camping for 10 days I do smell but my 'down stairs' smells due to not cleaning with water..... by armpit does smell 'i had taken bath and sniffed my clothes' and my clothe smell like smoke and dirt but not a body odor. however my wife loves to smell my clothes she says there is a smell
Odor comes from bacteria breaking down by sweating that is produced by sweat glands. Any parts of the body that are hairy contributes to releasing of unpleasant smell. Hormones is contributing factor as well because of the specific bacteria they already host and genetics whatnot. Biggest factor in my opinion is personal hygiene, regularly washing the body and avoiding repeating unwashed clothes can improve overall body odor.
How does any part of the body that are hairy contribute ..?! Arms and legs are hairy but they don't release unpleasant smell. It's well known scientifically that the endocrine glands in the genital area, chest and armpits are responsible for the bad odors. And you forgot the role of the diet and spices too
@@ppop_unvrsyou cannot clean your armpits 24 hours. East Asians people just sweat less than other countries people, that is a genetic reason. If you don’t sweat you would not have any body odor
Wasn't there a BBC video about 10 years ago on b.o? They did experiments like having other people smell the shirts worn by participants who didn't wear deodorant during the trial. 🤷♂️ I vividly remember a scene where an b.o expert directly sniffed people's underarms.
I'm Korean American. I remember telling a friend in 7th grade gym class changing after class to take a shower in the morning bc he smelled like a dead animal. He sheepishly told me he did but forgot his deodorant at home and he smells bc of the gym class. That's when I realized what all the years of body odor and deodorant insults and jokes meant. I felt pretty bad and wore deodorant for years until after college when I realized I don't smell at all.
I used to wear deodorants but I assumed later that some other issues I started to have was a result of using that deodrant which kind of block sweating. Now I shave my armpits fortnightly and wash it there twice when I take a bath. It still doesn't work fully therefore I wear full sleeve loose Earlier today I happened to see in Indonesia they have fruit which they consider as an oral deodrant.
hi, nice to meet you stranger , i'm an english learner, if you come across my comment, can you plz help me to identify the word that the male speaker used at 6:22( dont have this gene to .......without it ???) and 6:25 ( is this useful...) . Thanks very much 😁
clean urself daily esp. ur armpit and use deodorant or lemon mostly if u sweat a lot there are some nationality sadly which is famous in terms of b.o 😢
I don't have any smell from my armpits, I heard that some people from East Asia don't have smelly armpits because of certain genetic reasons.

@flying-ship Yes, my earwax is dry
I thought so until I went to saunas in those countries. They have bad body odors like others, but different

Lime is amazing for armpit odor

Why is the cc not working? And there is no transcript?

Koreans and Japanese don't have Bo. Other races don't have this advantage

Found scince I stopped using deoderent, soap and lotion upon my body, I dont smell much. Also my skin doesnt need lotion.
Absolutly agree, deoderant kills the good bacteria on the skin.
My husband can smell when I‘m angry.
I've been thinking about this for a while
Have a wash ?
Say Wart?

6:22 don't have this gene and get on fine without it
6:25 is this useful for everyone else
@@itsanaiaa Aww, that's very nice of you. Thanks again, hope you have a good day.😁☺

Science? your armpits smell because apparently you can't afford a visit to the dermatologist.
❤❤❤
The reason why armpits smell is the same reason why shit stinks.
Oh I’m East Asian so I’ve never sweat from my armpits and have no smell. Yay for gene mutations ig.
