Study: Smelling farts is good for your health 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 exposure to hydrogen sulfide a.k.a. what your body produces as bacteria breaks down food, causing gas 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. SO THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE FARTS NEXT TO YOU, WILL YOU STICK AROUND THE FART?
