According to research from the University of Liverpool (United Kingdom) published recently in the specialized journal Chem Senses , although studies on the perception of axillary sweat show that human smell does not seem to distinguish between samples from the left armpit and the right armpit , the truth is that their smells are quite different.
Specifically, through a series of experiments with subjects between the ages of 19 and 35, scientists have come to the conclusion that in left-handed men the smell of the left armpit is more intense, masculine and attractive , and arouses more "I wish" in women that the sweat comes from the right, especially when it is given to smell by women in the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle. What is surprising is that the study found no differences in right-handed people, so the authors invite further research on asymmetry in human sweat.
