Smelling Farts May Prevent Cancer! Really, Who Cut The Cheese?

This is something a lot of guys will be proud of! Smelling farts could help prevent cancer! This is true. According to The Week.com, hydrogen sulfide gas in rotten eggs and flatulence could be a key factor in treating diseases,  a.k.a. what your body produces as bacteria breaks down food, causing gas — could prevent mitochondria damage.

Now then! I'm thinking we need more information on this. I did a little more research to double check and make sure this was not a internet hoax. Indeed, I found several stories confirming this fact. The same facts were reported on ABC-TV and Time.com.

According to the story-

Although the gas is noxious in large doses, scientists found that cellular exposure to smaller amounts of the compound may prevent mitochondrial damage. This could have future implications in the prevention of strokes, arthritis, heart disease, among other things, the researchers say.

Needless to say, more research is needed but this does bring a whole new theory to doing the one cheek sneak. Instead of being rude, you could be preventing cancer in those near to the rotten smell.

Just think how many people you can help in small quarters such as an airplane, church or car.

I could go on forever, but I leave you to talk among yourselves!
