52、 women's armpit sweat constrained relatively high levels of an odourless sulphur-containning compound 5 milligrams per milliliter of sweat versus 0.5 milligrams in men.When the researchers mixed this compound in the lab with bacteria commonly found in the armpit, the bugs turned it into a thiol - a previously discovered odour from armpits that is akin to onion.“The more sulphur precursor we added, the more intense was the malodour,” says Starkenmann, wh
