Thank you for a very interesting question. Well, I'm not sure whether Asians should shower less frequently! However, it is true that they have less body odor than other races. The reason for this is not bacterial related but is caused by the amount of apocrine glands they have in their body. Asians have fewer apocrine glands than almost any other race. “Apocrine glands, which produce scents that we commonly refer to as body odor, vary widely among the races. Asians have an extremely low distribution of apocrines (Koreans are among the least odor-producing people on Earth—50% of them have no apocrine glands at all). With regard to other races, blacks have a slightly higher distribution of apocrine glands than whites.” |
Who knew??
We found this YouTube video which is really helpful in knowing what stuff to bring when we leave for Daegu...
