Smelling farts is good for your health

[DigitalDrifter]

Liberals should let me know if they are interested in improving their health.
You supply the face, I'll supply the fart.

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 smelling farts could prevent disease and even cancer.

The study, published in the*Medicinal Chemistry Communicationsjournal, found that flatulence could be a key factor in treating diseases.

"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," Dr. Mark Wood, a professor at the University of Exeter, said in a*statement.

While hydrogen sulfide gas is harmful in large doses, smelling it in small amounts could reduce the risk of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving the body's mitochondria. Dr. Matt Whiteman, a University of Exeter professor who worked on the study, said in a statement that researchers are even replicating the natural gas to reap its health benefits.

I need to get that job at the local bean cannery. I don't have health insurance.

Okay, but the health benefits are supposed to be gained by the fartee, not the farter.

Who pays for these "studies"?

And who would think let's smell farts and see if there's some health benefits ?

Amazing isn't it? Did they get several 100 people to sit around in a room and fart it up for years, doing medical tests? WTF? This cannot be a legitimate study.

At least the Brits paid for it-----

That study is about as stupid as a shrimp on a treadmill.

Eating a 5 course spinach meal every day is also good for my health, but I'm not about to do that either ...

You mean there's a University of Exeter somewhere in the States that no one told me about ?

What if the farter eats a lot of junk food ? Are the health benefits reduced, compared to the spinach farter ?

I really should have been a scientist. I could have gotten paid a lot of money to produce bullshit like this and everyone would still think I was smart.
