The next time someone says, kiss my rear-end, they may just be trying to save your life..Well kind of.
Scientists at the University of Exeter believe that smelling farts is good for your health!
Dr Mark Wood said is a release,
“Although hydrogen sulfide gas is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases.” So a small little whiff of a fart can reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria.
“We have exploited this natural process by making a compound, called AP39, which slowly delivers very small amounts of this gas specifically to the mitochondria,” Professor Matt Whiteman said, ”Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive.”
Soon we’ll all be taking fart pills! Isn’t life great!
