Boycie Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Farting compititions in the car are the best. if you make the other open their window it's a point. a follow through is instant disqualification though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Study: Smelling farts may be good for your health July 11, 2014 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 in England suggests that exposure to hydrogen sulfide — a.k.a. what your body produces as bacteria breaks down food, causing gas — could prevent mitochondria damage. Yep, the implication is what you're thinking: People are taking the research to mean that smelling farts could prevent disease and even cancer. The study, published in the Medicinal Chemistry Communications journal, found that hydrogen sulfide gas in rotten eggs and 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, the study suggests that "a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria," Time reports. 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 in a new compound, AP39, to reap its health benefits. The scientists are delivering "very small amounts" of AP39 directly into mitochondrial cells to repair damage, which "could hold the key to future therapies," the university's statement reveals. You'll have to decide for yourself, though, whether exposure to hydrogen sulfide in flatulence is worth the potential health benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loughboroughRAM Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 my missus rarely does a load one but sometimes all of a sudden I'll notice a particularly foul smell creep up and suffocate me. Rancid but tbf I have made her genuinely gag a couple of times, I call it asserting my male dominance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
