Study: Smelling farts is good for your healthhttp://theweek.com/article/index/264585/speedreads-study-smelling-farts-is-good-for-your-health The next time someone at your office lets out a "silent but deadly" emission, maybe you should thank them. A new study at the University of Exeter suggests that exposure to hydrogen sulfide — a.k.a. what your body produces as bacteria breaks down food, causing gas — could prevent mitochondria damage. Yep, the implication is what you're thinking: People are taking the research to mean that smelling farts could prevent disease and even cancer. The study, published in the Medicinal Chemistry Communications journal, found that hydrogen sulfide gas in rotten eggs and flatulence could be a key factor in treating diseases.
A few more paragraphs at the link. Worth the click.My wife is not impressed. "Why am I not the healthiest woman in the world, then?"Still. Now I know I am out there, doing my part and saving lives. Pull my finger and live another year!
If this study is true, LocoPuffs could convert his parents' basement Fortress of DUmmitude into a health spa. No doubt it smells like the last 18 inches of a cow's colon.
