Answer 1

In humans, there are two kinds of sweat glands which differ greatly in both the composition of the sweat and its purpose:


Eccrine sweat glands are distributed over the entire body surface but are particularly abundant on the palms of hands, soles of feet, and on the forehead.

These produce sweat that is composed chiefly of water with various salts. These glands are used for body temperature regulation.

Human eccrine sweat is composed chiefly of water with various salts and organic compounds in solution. It contains minute amounts of fatty materials, urea, and other wastes.


Apocrine glands occur in the during early to mid puberty ages approximately around the age of 15 .

Apocrine sweat glands produce sweat that contains fatty materials. These glands are mainly present in the armpits and around the genital area and their activity is the main cause of sweat odour, due to the bacteria that break down the organic compounds in the sweat from these glands.

Emotional stress increases the production of sweat from the apocrine glands, or more precisely: the sweat already present in the tubule is squeezed out.

Apocrine sweat glands essentially serve as scent glands. East Asian people typically have markedly fewer of these glands compared to people of other ethnicities , which is why the body odor of East Asian people is often less strong than that of most other ethnic groups.

How dare u say something like that.Why is it that when u get wet from rain u smell like a stinky dog.of course armpits are smelly after working out or from being in the sun for a long period of time,but if u don't use deodorant white or black u will stink.And another thing black peoples skin is oil er than white people,so don't try to just put the black people out there like that.

Answer 5

You are such a racist and nothing will change you, you won't prosper in life because you go around smelling people's armpits, I am black and I have worked with lots of white people and there were some whom I couldn't even stand them because of their smell, still I didn't go around smelling white people. We are all the same sweat is sweat it does not matter your skin colour.

I think people like should be removed on yahoo, this website should be for people, who need to have more knowledge not morons like you who just come ask question to humiliate black people. I am black and proud of it and even if I can forget to put on roll onn or perfume you won't here me smelling.

Answer 6

Everyone say things like this. Please do not get offended, but I have heard that white people smell like wet animals and bolonga. I have not been around too many smelly people and they came in all colors. This may be a generalization, but most of the black people I know use a lot of colonges, perfumes, deodorants. We really like things that smell good, all the time. Our cars, homes, bodies. So I just think that either you are from a bad area or you are trying to get attention

Answer 7

I suppose every one needs a hobby but 'arm pit smelling' must be way down on the list of recreational pursuits?
Did you know that all white people have the smelliest feet out of all other races,check that out next time you are doing your arm pit routine!
I can recommend it and I am presently starting a 'White feet smelling' society, but it's for men only, so you can't join!!
Hope this helps??

Obviously you wanted to elicit some spirited responses with your strange and ignorant question. Mission Accomplished.You have made a very broad statement about an entire community of people. I feel very sorry for you. Hopefully one day you will experience all that life has to offer and realize that such baseless statements are a waste of time and energy.

Answer 9

properly, a impressive form of individuals will consistently stereotype you for some thing you're or not. that is merely the merciless truth of existence, and in case you do not view your self that way then there is no prefer to provide your self a headache about it. to boot there'll consistently be some gem stones accessible that isn't see you as a stereotype yet a man or woman, so merely be you and each and every little thing else will fall into position.
