The next time someone passes gas around you, you may want to take a whiff, it could save your life. While most people find the sulfuric smell of a person’s gas repulsive, or at the very least unpleasant, a new study has suggested it actually has some life saving properties.

Researchers at Exeter University in the United Kingdom have discovered that the smell of farts actually has some useful properties that could ward off disease if you smell them. It’s all due to the fact that the gas has been linked with controlling inflammation in the body.
A study published in the journal Medicinal Chemistry Communications has revealed that the smell of flatulence has secret health benefits and could help stave off cancer, strokes, heart attacks and dementia,
Hydrogen sulfide is one of a number of potent smelly gases produced by bacteria as it breaks down food in the gut. It is toxic in large doses but in tiny amounts it helps protect cells and fight illness, according to researchers at Exeter University.
When cells become stressed by disease they try to draw in enzymes to generate their own minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide. The chemical helps to preserve mitochondria, which drive energy production in blood vessel cells and regulate inflammation, and without it the cell can switch off and die.
According to Mirror UK, Professor Matt Whiteman from University of Exeter’s medical school said: “When cells become stressed by disease, they draw in enzymes to generate minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide.
“This keeps the mitochondria ticking over and allows cells to live. If this doesn’t happen, the cells die and lose the ability to regulate survival and control inflammation.

“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.

“Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive.”
Before it can be tested on humans, researchers have run disease models to see how effective AP39 is, and early results show that it can help up to 80 percent more mitochondria survive highly destructive conditions such as cardiovascular disease.
Fellow researcher Dr. Mark Wood added: “Although hydrogen sulfide 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.”

Op I hope u knw some fart with offensive odour kills faster than cancer

some fart (mess) can kill even those who ain't sick

some mess can even kill a healthy new bon baby

Lol
Mess get grade

OP no be everybody . normal for dis country o
Buhari don mek some people to de misbehave now o
Hehe! very soon we go begin hear some kind stories. No de use MESS play o. .

Some fart that makes the eyes water n causes instant Cartarrgh n sneeze. This type is worse than cancer itself

Hummm, someone will soon start packaging fart (mess) as perfumes for export now.


Business idea to make dollars now that a dollars is #430

Op, how would you like me to contain my mess in an oxygen bag and DHL it to you for your sweet sensation??
