A percentage of the population is graced with a genetic mutation that prevents stinky pits. People with a special gene called ABCC11 were found to have less or non-existent stinky pits, according to researchers from the University of Bristol.

The gene is the single determinatnt factor of whether you might produce underarm odor or not. 97% of European or African descenet people have the smelly underarm sweat gene. East Asians on the other hand have it good. Most of them do not have stinky armpits.
