Why do Western people stink do they have natural body odor or is it because of them eating Cheese and Pizza?

Question

I found a similar question about chinese people in Yahoo and nobody said the person who asked the question was a racist. Is it fair that some people call me a racist for this question?
I do not think so.
I am not a racist.

Answer 1

I am from the west, and I don't stink, are you sure you are not just smelling yourself.

Answer 2

If you're going to try to convince us that you aren't racist, the use of the word "stink" isn't helping your case any. That is an inflammatory expression that is calculated to offend those to whom it's applied. "Body chemistry" or "scent" would be a better and more accurate descriptive term.

But to answer your question, some non-Caucasians claim that consuming a lot of milk products cause Western people to have a distinctive body chemistry. I have an extremely sharp sense of smell, and I've never noticed it in any group of Westerners. Nor do I find that Asians have any one particular type of body chemistry.

Garlic, some hot peppers/sauces/oils, or a lot of onions may temporarily affect an individual's chemistry, but I've never noticed that it's 'permanent' unless the person eats those items on a daily basis.

Answer 3

I don't think most of us Western People smell. Americans use more body soap per than anyone on the face of the earth. Garlic can cause a person th have odder but everyone in the world would smell. I make my own pizza and a use a lot of basil. Basil is one of the most wonderful fragrances on earth. I have Polish friends Asian Indian friends Black friends and Hispanic friends all smell good. But I know and most people adopt the cleanliness of our Country. And no one is cleaner than America.
Disney had problems in France because they want that fresh scrubbed look; and the French don't believe in daily bathing and shampooing. In the 70's the French Hotels updated there pluming to accommodate American tourists. My daughter spent time at friends in Ireland', Scotland, and even in London and did not find there showers adequate and after an 18 Hour flight got home and showered for an hour. Yep we Yanks are the cleanest in the world.

Answer 4

you're misinformed. I additionally heard that Spanish human beings eat canine meat yet that would not make it real and quite some the inhabitants "maximum" eat pig meat, Viscount St. Albans, ham, beef chops, so what next you gonna say quite some the inhabitants stinks? And to be common the guy I got here across that stunk like no different became a vegetarian. possibly the guy you got here across merely had undesirable hygiene and quite some the oriental human beings i be conscious of do have undesirable hygiene because of the fact they did now not be conscious of extra effective.

Answer 5

Although ignorant people might consider this question to be gratuitously racist, it is in fact a serious question, and the Asker has made a very good guess.

Eating a high-fat diet causes sweat glands in those parts of the body which are covered by hair to excrete fat along with salty water. Bacteria come along and notice the digestable fat just lying on your skin and decide to invite themselves over for dinner. Of course, bacteria are rude guests who excrete their own wastes right where they eat, and that causes a bad smell.

So if you eat a high-fat diet, as many Westerners do, then you should shower at least once a day. Otherwise the sensitive noses of Easterners might be offended.

Or you can just eat sprouted wheat and bean soup, and not have so much trouble with smelly bacteria. (Of course, you will then have more flatulence.)

Answer 6

unfortunately, they don't use water down there, and they're so used to that smell to the point of not recognizing it, they think it's okay to use only toilet paper, but come on you can't clean away such an offensive smell using a dry object, I'm from the middle east, and I've always thought that the west is way ahead of the entire world and it really is, so i decided to experience using only toilet paper, and it was a terrible experience, it made me fell so uncomfortable, you should try water or even water and soap, then dry up with toilet paper believe me you'll feel great, sorry for the poor English..

Answer 7

People smell like what they eat. The typical diet in the West is very processed, with chemicals and hormones. Then meat eaters smell strong too.

A Muslim from Pakistan told my husband Westerners smell like soured sweet milk.

Answer 8

people can smell because of what they eat

a lot of people from non-dairy-consuming parts of the world have said that Americans smell like old milk because they tend to drink a lot of milk.

some people stink because of bad hygeine, just natural body odour and also because of their dietary habits.

its not spcifically a western thing, but if you aren't a westerner, then you probably think westerners stink because you aren't used to their odour caused by their different eating habits

but yes, dairy and high-fat foods contribute to the bad-smell

Answer 9

Everyone has their own reasons and ways of stinking. I don't know why everyone else stinks. I have smelled a little bit musty ever since I started breastfeeding. I think it's coz my metabolism is running super fast. That's my reason.

Answer 10

andielep, since when did western mean Caucasian, are you totally stupid - have a look out of your front door sometimes. If you honestly think all Westerners are white you are mistaken.

Diet however does affect the way you smell, but if you keep up a good level of hygiene this shouldn't become a problem.

If you eat garlic, smell your wrists the day after. - Its weird but the garlic travels through your blood and is secreted in your sweat :)

Answer 11

You are most likely a racist............but on the outside chance you are not, here goes........

Try having your teeth cleaned. I suspect your pungently revolting breath may be blowing back in your face. 1-800-Dentist

It may indeed be IQ related, have yourself tested. I'm thinking 60-80 range. This may be resulting in your being based in the senses and not the intellect. Maybe you suffer from the inability to comprehend that it is in fact you that is the source of the odor. Find an intelligent person and have them smell you, I suspect they will unearth the source of your problem.
