@Terminator Eating too much pussy?
So hah yu gotta de bead breh whita man? Eating to muh pussssy?

Don't they eat a lot of spicy stuff? Might be a high prevalence of ulcers. But who the fuck knows. Have you guys ever seen that cringy show called 90 day fiance? That clip where that bowling ball shaped dude told that women she had stinky breath makes me laugh so hard my side hurts every time I see it. She was also some type of Asian.
-
@Mulloch94 Okay so its not just me who noticed this right?
My cringe tolerance ability cant overcome this im afraid I will not be able to watch it.
Happens to jungle asians as well, but not as many times. Interestingly never happened to Japs or Koreans I have met. Its just the Chinese.

@Mulloch94
I could barely finish the video, but thanks that was so cringe it was funny. And I mean this lump of lard with his greasy ass hair 
‘let me fix you’ hahah -
@Kilgore Yes, I've seen others make similar remarks. So I definitely pick up on a trend. Probably dietary related to whatever they're eating. I personally don't know any Chinese people, or Asian people, unless Indians count as Asians. But I haven't noticed their breath so I'm guessing they got good oral hygiene.

@Shar_to_the_dae I know, lol. Big Ed is the most cringe person on that show, which is really saying something because they're all crazy as hell. But he wanted to get laid so bad he basically abandoned his daughter to go to some third world country to dangle money and green cards in front of women haha. Dude later had the nerve to ask if that girl's sister was trying to scam him because she asked for money. What an idiot lmao.

@Mulloch94 How the fuck do they find these disgusting freaks?

Nothing smells as bad as the body odor of Indians and black feeMales.
Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.
Ignore, judge, overcommit.
-
I think Indians smell because of the kind of spice and herbs and curry blends they use regularly.
Otoh, I had a roommate from Spain who like food cooked that has the natural flavor and taste of meat and vegetables sourced fresh with not too much seasoning. He's from Valencia, so I may only be speaking of Valencians, but he has a strong body odor as well.
-
@Kilgore I don't really know. I think they just find poor and desperate people in underdeveloped parts of the world and tell them if you'll marry these disgusting and otherwise pathetic people for at least 90 days we'll give you a green card.
I don't know what's more tragic to be honest. The fact they will so easily hand out citizenship to foreigners or the fact I find the foreigners to be more sensible and pleasant than the Americans marrying them, lol.
-
@Mulloch94 Yeah I was talking about the Guy. He is the disgusting one for sure. Good god look at that physiogomy bluuuuuuuuh. TLC is really just a channel that finds the most disgusting people and makes a show of their lives. Some people feel better watching another person being a disaster I guess.

Yes their diet of pufa slops, shit ton of spices and veggies all contribute to them stinking. I used to eat raw garlic everyday and people said how much I stink of garlic.

Lmao, of all things to see I've been mentioned about.
China has very poor dental hygiene infrastructure and high rates of periodontal disease and its risk factors. I ran some brief Google Scholar and Pubmed searches on relevant data and factors.
Many Chinese will never see a dentist more than once every few years, if that. China's dentist-population ratio was ~1:10,000 in 2016, now not much different. Many Chinese have a somewhat fatalistic view on teeth health- it's very normal for people to lose teeth, young or old. In the linked study, ~50% of Chinese thought oral disease was preventable, only ~50%.
Chinese oral hygiene is shocking low on things like flossing with <3% flossing daily, compared to Germans at ~25-45%.. The same study found that <3% of Chinese undergo scaling, which is the removal of hard plaque and tartar from the teeth- a big factor in periodontal disease. Another thing in that study is that there's very low rates of awareness about periodontal disease symptoms and risk factors. Only about ~20% of Chinese have awareness of risk factors and symptoms. Rinsing the mouth is also rare amongst Chinese and warm water rinsing is a primo way to prevent a lot of bad buildups and smells, in addition to being a simple treatment for small tonsil stones(which cause horrific ammonia breath).
Almost 2/3 of Chinese youth have gum bleeding, which indicates low levels of brushing, flossing, and a general low level of oral health.
Diet plays some role in it, but I would point to the prevalence of H. pylori infection in Chinese with ~45% of Chinese adults having an active H. pylori gastric infection. H. pylori is causal for bad breath. This is just H. pylori, there are many other smell-causing bacteria that are widely prevalent amongst those with poor dental hygiene.
Dietary intake of garlic and ginger, as well as other aromatics, has some role in the smell, but Chinese also have high rates of consuming fermented fish foods(of questionable quality) and seed oil consumption, neither of which can be a benefit to oral smell.
Bad breath is an indication of a low level of health. In recent months, I have noticed an uptick in people who have bad breath. Not an exponential increase or anything, but noticeable.

Yeah absolutely, that show about morbidly obese people basically proves that.

I know that smell. My dad was so into garlic once, until he began to stink.
I don't know if I stunk, but once I tried eating lots of raw garlic I developed a cough that wouldn't go away. Luckily, I happened to read about the sulfur compound in garlic (could be sulfate), an excess of which could metabolize into sulfuric acid, and I made the connection. My body had turned acidic and it lowered my immunity.
A matter of good turned bad due to an excess.

Pal, I knew you were going to deliver something and you did. Thank you!

Yuck.
Thanks for sharing all the info about the Chinese view on oral hygene. Those percentages are shocking!

Maybe thats the culprit. As I said this does not seem that common with Koreans and Japs. Although I didn't meet as many of them. Chinese I meet every day.

Fermented fish foods... I mean you are asking for it at that point.

Same here.

@yerrag You are what you it is a true statements. Plus garlic gets rid of a lot of bacteria inside you so you sweat that out making the smell worse....
I don't know if I stunk, but once I tried eating lots of raw garlic I developed a cough that wouldn't go away. Luckily, I happened to read about the sulfur compound in garlic (could be sulfate), an excess of which could metabolize into sulfuric acid, and I made the connection.

How many did you have to eat for this to happen?
-
@Kilgore It was years back, so my guess be around 4 cloves a day. Not the whole bud.
Maybe if the garlic were cooked and not eaten raw, it wouldn't be so acidic. As you could easily eat that much with some foods, but then, that food isn't eaten everyday, so the acidity doesn't accumulate like when done daily as I had. I was eating raw garlic for 3 months straight, and the effect was felt. Glad to be in a health forum without which I would never have made the connection.

isnt that something related to the vaccine
