Between 80 and 95% of East Asians have little to none of that typical acidic body odor smell. And it all comes down to a gene mutation.

Is this specificly East Asian? Cause I had an Indian roommate once and that dude could knock out half the city with his stretch.
Yes. It is. The article specifically calls out east asia.
That should be in the title. Asia is huge.
A lot of that is diet and, of course, hygiene. Having 10% less BO doesn't do anything for you if you're not showering, or eating garlic gloves whole.
Never eat whole garlic gloves: they're simply too powerful
Yah, wow, some Indians need to have some intervention done. I know plenty of Indians that are perfectly fine, and then there's a subset that smell like me after a 2 week solo backpacking trip.
