Dermatologists Debunk 8 Body-Odor Myths | Debunked | Science Insider

I needed this information!!

When I was in Jr. High, our science teacher told us that different ethnicities each have a unique smell. She told us that as a white, when I have B. O., it's really foul to Asians. Just as Blacks B. O. is very foul to whites.

After all these years, I still remember it... And it seems to be true. But is there any scientific truth to this? TIA

Your body is the reflection of your diet and lifestyle. That's why my cat has shiny fur😍😍

Listen I'm still shocked that some people don't wash their feet and butt ESPECIALLY with different scrubs mean while if I don't shower at least twice a day I feel disgusting my family was like you smell great you don't need a second shower umm no.. but I've also been really sick and couldn't even get out of bed and smelled off so I get the giving others a little grace

Anything on bromhidrosis?

I have dry earwax, and i was born in southkorea, but i noticed my armpits smelled like typical b.o. recently (found out after sweating outside and i sniffed my armpits.. any thoughts? Could it be the food i eat?

Hhehe im asian my armpit dont smell at all.

Clean: the new science of skin, by Hamilton from the Atlantic is an enlightening read about the skin microbiome

Yer hot. That's my professional opinion.

I've been using Alum blocks for years and even when I am sweaty, I never ever smell.

My mom had chemo and hasn’t had a smell since 😂 I’m really trying to understand why 😅

Baking soda is.effective cost very inexpensive

We use herbal leaves to shower and it’s great! Natural body odour. Still sweat and no smell. & It’s natural

Depreasd being smell

God bleesss you....

Lmao do you really call these people doctors while they barely know basic of the literature, they should have better stayed on the skin and not try to go into the body. Detox is mostly from the liver and the kidneys they said ? AHAHAHAHAHAHA there is indeed much detox from there but the dominant and one taking majority is obviously the lungs, it is not primarily through water but through air that your body detox
As for the aluminium argument it is even more hilarious, witnessing their ignorance about the countless studies that shows up simply with the keyword aluminium: especially that they do show a causality with brain related issues and a to-be deepened cancerigenic effect (breast cancer is far from being the only type of cancer). It probably means that the product they sell/recommend are themselves aluminium fuelled (thanks revenue)

Not everyone has smelly feet.

Aluminum in the blood stream is a symptom of Alzheimer’s

So why Asians don't have armpit odor ?

Deodorants don't just mask your smell. Deodorants also kill bacteria to reduce the smell.

So why do people sweat when they are coming off of some drugs, illegal substances and pharmaceutical products? I always thought that was a way your body helps eliminate the drugs in your system. I’ve read studies that show spending time in a sauna can help eliminate the amount of medications and drugs in your systems.

Why are the presenters leaning away from each other? Did the other person smell?

Lack of any evidence doesn't mean we have evidence it doesn't cause cancer. "We have no studies that show aluminum causes cancer". So basically science (evidence) is limited on this area.

So it begs the question, why do we have more bacteria on our chest then in other areas? If the whole smell is just from bacteria

Wow, watching how the puddles of sweat just dried up within 48 hours was so satisfying, I used what I read about the other day. Although it actually took about 72 hours for my sweating to normalize, I went ahead and go'ogled Cynthia Yulesin’s Stop Sweating Today and I don’t have to change clothes 2 times a day.

It would be easier to understand the statements if you allowed the viewer to see the written statement before it is torn apart

i knew this one man he was overweight sweaty. w gout too. he would go to gym and exercise but come dripping w sweat and it was the worse smell ever. isnt there a disorder where people sweat profusely all the time? do they smell? or was it just him? anyway he was a neighbor and he was super stinky! i was so repulsed because it didnt smell like
regular sweat . it was thick and pungent!

What i can do! I smell what i eating

Better clothing choices could help. Some fiber blends carry away moisture better, leaving less "food" for bacteria. Good socks and the right socks can improve foot odor considerably. Boot dryers for people who have to wear protective shoes all day and also work in wet conditions. Forced air is pushed into the boots that hang upside down, dry them great. You can make a cheap version with plastic pipes and put it over a forced air duct. Don't coop your shoes up in a closet all night with no air flow. And generally most light body odor isn't so bad, we give off pheromones that identify us. It's why people are attracted to each other, nature provides this natural attractant that blends with our perfumes,cologne and other products that make everyone a special smell. I've never had a long-term relationship with someone I didn't like their smell, even when workout stinky. I still kinda like it. Food you eat and medicine you take can change your smell. You and your significant may have an adjustment period. Sometimes taking certain meds at different times of day can help. Garlic and onions are good, but maybe not on a special night...😉

The would make an amazing couple

My sweat dont smell at all

You can tell she knows she’s towing the big Pharma chemical narrative on aluminum & “currently no data”! That’s complete BS!!! I had consider them trustworthy & credible but if their willing to support & repeat that pure protective legal nonsense that avoids confirming while also avoiding to say it isn’t because they know it is & don’t want to later be held accountable when it’s found they knew all along.

Like all animals we have parts that put off odors for attraction

Please acknowledge that what you perceive as a body odour problem, could also be a problem of the clothes and the washing machine. Especially if all (your) washes are done at 30 degrees and if you never run a drum cleaning cycle, bacteria can build up in your washing machine and your clothes can come out with more bacteria than they should have. You can test this by pouring water over the armpits of your child's (or the person's) clean shirt and then smell the shirt. Solution is to improve the hygiene of your washing machine, not force anti transpirants upon all family members. Thank you.

Why do we Indians have strong body odor?

just because aluminum is fda approved, doesn't mean it's safe
we know how lobbies work (in this case health and cosmetics)
remember when they made all kinds of doctors and health profissionals swear on the bible that smoking was't unealthy or addictive? :)

I love what she said about how a negative smell to one person is a positive smell to another.

"Everyone's armpits stink"
"Not mine" 😂

If you eat a lot of fast food, and garlic, onions. Bellybuttons stink, it is fungug that grows in our smelly pits, it's fungus

And if their genetailia smells on the inside, that is a sign of vaginal issues. Cornstarch works as long as you shower, don't smoke, booze it a lot, especially eating meat makes people skunky.

It says aluminum, a inorganic substance can also harden the pineal gland.

I'd like to ask the pros if there can be any causality linked with using aluminium based antiperspirant and rising dementia rates?

I liked the conversation and the way you corrected wrong common information thank you
شكراً

Four questions about this otherwise excellent video: 1. Why have meaningless music behind the entire presentation? 2. When demonstrating the use of under-arm deodorants, why show models who have removed their natural hair? If natural body hair contributes to body odour in a negative way, why not discuss it? 3. What about garlic? 4. What about cigarette smoking?R (Australia)

What a great video, they have good vibes❤

How much Botox did she give herself before this video? 😅 her face doesnt move

Probably gonna get flack for this but as lovely as she is, her face looks too tight. I suspect she uses botox . . . Her smile looks frozen like so many people i have seen who do use botox.
