I am surrounded (to a degree) by a bunch of Chinese, in close quarters, on the various university shuttle buses. Never had a notion of garlic breath or body odor, either way. I put garlic in my stir fry or blender smoothies, but none of that is everyday.
I never mentioned anything about body odour. East Asians generally don't even need deodorant to have no smell. Even when they sweat. Like nobody uses deodorant around here as it's unnecessary. And if you go to countries like Korea, you probably cannot even find deodorant because they don't need it. They never smell. We have it as we got other races like Malays and Indians who need it.
And that's just biology, our bodies are different. But I am talking about bad breath cause by garlic filled meals from breakfast to dinner. Like a typical breakfast here is fried carrot cake, which is a local savoury chinese dish fried with ALOT of garlic. It's salty and savoury, not the sweet carrot cake that is baked. Ours is stir fry. Lunch is probably again, we put garlic chilli in everything, even in broth. Basically, it's garlic all day. Try eating that much garlic, you will have bad breath.
As I said, Chinese in the US may not have access to ingredients of local food. As it's beyond just garlic. Like our garlic chili needs shrimp paste too, which may be hard to get in the US. And our carrot cake must be non-existence and they can't have Asian breakfast. Probably eat typical American breakfast instead which doesn't involve any garlic. But most local breakfast are garlic filled. And every stir fry dishes is filled with garlic. Our steam fish is literally crunchy garlic toppings on top. And we love to stir fry, just plain garlic and eat it like chips.
About the no body odour part:
Some lucky people’s sweat doesn’t cause body odor. It’s likely because they have a malfunctioning version of something called a transporter protein, which, in most people, is responsible for secreting the molecules that a certain type of bacteria then consumes, a process that results in body odor. As our Gal Science puts it in the video, “No bacteria buffet, no smell.”
About 2 percent of Europeans and a majority of people in some East Asian countries like Japan and China have the recessive gene that results in the faulty transporter protein.

There are some things so different about us than from Caucasian people.
1) Even the male don't grow hair on face, so no need to shave. Females barely gotta shave, most of our legs are practically naturally hairless.
2) Our ear wax are dry and flakey uniquely us
3) We can be drenched in sweat and there is zero odour (It's interesting the article says 75% wears deodorant despite that, but don't know which country they are referring to, because definitely not East Asia, it's rare anybody wears it or needs it.)
It's like if we were in an animal kingdom, we are two different animals.
For me, one fascination with caucasian men is, how come they can shave in the morning and by evening or mid day, their whisker grew again, Soooooo fast! It's always something like incredible to me. Because local men seriously don't even grow a single whisker at all. Those that want to grow a beard needs to take special supplement to induce growth.
