Episode description
Whole-body deodorants are the latest fad designed to mask our scent, but not everyone agrees that body odour is a bad thing. Sarah Everts, Carleton University associate professor and author of The Joy of Sweat: The Strange Science of Perspiration, explains why we smell, why we should pause before applying whole-body deodorant, and why we should chill a little when it comes to BO.
