If a region is invariant under one coordinate reflection and an integrable function changes sign under that reflection, its multiple integral is zero. Apply the change of variables formula to the reflection, whose absolute Jacobian determinant is one: the integral equals its negative. This applies to odd coordinate powers in symmetric volumes and to the off-diagonal entries of an inertia tensor when the mass density shares the coordinate-reflection symmetries.
