Recently we posted about the ABCC11 gene, which seems to co-relate with naturally not being prone to underarm body odor (axillary odor). A sign of having the ABCC11 gene is that your earwax is the dry-type. This seems to be most common in far-east Asia. The following papers go into more detail about the gene. The hypothesis seems to be that it causes a natural hypohydrosis, which makes it more difficult for the axillary bacteria to thrive in the less moist environment. Although it is a 'loss of function' copy of the gene (a mutation), it is no surprise that in the communities where it first came about, now it has become the dominant type for that gene (e.g. mates have preferred those with the mutation. Now at levels of 95% of the communities.)
A functional ABCC11 allele is essential in the biochemical formation of human axillary odor

If you go through these links and don't use MEBO on SMILE, MEBO will get ~4%
But ppl forget about these links ....so if u forget then choose MEBO in AMAZON SMILE
MEBO will get 0.5%
but 0.5% of something beats 4% of nothing
