Ridiculous Study of the Day Says Smelling Farts Might Prevent Cancer.Scientists out of the University of Exeter insist that smelling farts could actually prevent cancer,among other diseases. Uh, okay.“Although hydrogen sulfide gas”—produced when bacteria breaks down food—”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,” Dr. Mark Wood said in a university release.
Although the stinky gas can be noxious in large doses, the researchers seem to think that a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria. Researchers are even coming up with their own compound to emulate the stinky smell’s health benefits.
“‘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, who worked on the study to be published in theMedicinal Chemistry Communications journal, said.http://time.com/2976464/scientists-say-smelling-farts-might-prevent-cancer/

wetin we no go hear for nairaland?oya make i release one #farts and runs out of thread#

I guess they are talking about farts that are not offensive.. I swear it's better to drink cement than to perceive the fart that comes from a person that ate beans and egg with kulikuli..It will just precipitate cancer..
