What ethnic group sweat doesn't smell?
Correct answer: Asians
Tom
I love this sort of knowledge.
I will share something related to lactose, human sweat and cheese.
Gym socks, and the skin behind our ears, and other places, smell like the ripe cheeses, stilton, brie...
We sweat sugars which are acted upon by bacteria, lactobacillus, for example, and produce molecules that smell.
These can be very attractive to ourselves, and others, or very obnoxious, or in between.
I don't know if this is related to the gene mentioned.

Timtim
This is absolutely false. l am an Asian and people who aren't using deodorant or perspirants ,stink terribly. So now I have come to the conclusion that most descriptions given are not correct.
Birdo
You can't find deodorants in South East Asia. Only antiperspirants and many people don't use them.
YSL
This is interesting information, but the question is incorrect. Plenty of Asians have sweat with an odor of garlic.

This is strange but true!!
Jennifer

Andrew
One way to save on Antiperspirant

Maybe that's the reason why Asians can not tolerate the body ordors of other people

What about belly button odors?
Hunger Knowledge
Maybe it's what Asians eat & baths to maintains their youthful appearance

Timtim, sweat doesn't smell. Bacteria smells. And you need to actually shower. You don't have to use antiperspirants.

Player #49699886, most asians like filipinos take a bath everyday sometimes multiple times a day.
Chefah
Possibly because of the humidity we experience here.
Peg
Player #120374466, I agree. That and bathing as soon as you start smelling something.
Peg
HBICLIII, clean it!
Peg
That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin, Maybe they wash more often?
Peg
Timtim, where in Asia do you live?
Peg
YSL, I like the smell of garlic
Peg
Tom, maybe some of the Asians lacked in the ability to process sugar well and needed to retain it, therefore non- stinky sweat
Player #120374466
Evolution has nothing to with it. Is more of "you are what you eat."
Cocknokker
The man in my local petrol station is Asian and he stinks..

HBICLIII, Many people don't realize the belly button (navel) can STINK!
BastetTheHieress
