Sniffing Farts Can Lower Blood Pressure

by Jared on October 28, 2008

You now have the green light to fart anytime, anywhere.

Why?

A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.

The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.

The new research found that cells lining mice’s blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents’ blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure).

What does this mean?

Bean are the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.

And tooting can save a life or two…

Check the strip.
