Is it true that people of different races have different body odours?

I just read this on Quora:

P. S. I live in a monoracial community so I don't have that knowledge of this type.

Diet can show through the body in terms of odour. For example if you rub garlic on the soles of your feet, it will later be smelled on your breath. If you eat the foods of your culture which many do, it will add to your smell. This is why many Europeans smell slightly of stale milk to cultures where milk consumption just isn't a thing.


And let's be blunt we all tend to eat the things we grew up with and enjoyed, don't we?

Yes. I love the scent of a woman, but white women have such a bad BO... 🤮
