Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Yucky or yummy? Take your pick! According to a recent report, women's body order smells of onions (or grapefruit) and men's of cheese. Lemondrop explains that researchers had both men and women engage in the same exercises and had both groups sit in saunas. Afterwards, scientists took samples of men and women's perspiration.
Women's perspiration contains large amounts of a sulfurous compound that creates a scent similar to onion soup when mixed with armpit bacteria. Ah, and then there's men's perspiration! Think Stilton or a stinky Roquefort. Men's perspiration releases higher amounts of fatty acids. So, as Lemondrop remarks, this seems like an excellent opportunity for deodorant companies.
When purchasing deodorant at the pharmacy, men and women's antiperspirants are often separated, probably in the same way that colognes and perfumes are divided at a department store - masculine smells and feminine smells. It seems that now, scientists can work with deodorant companies to create more efficient gender targeted products.
