wait WHAT ? ? ? ? ? ? Scientists Say Smelling Farts Prevents Cancer July 11, 2014 This is not a hoax, folks. Scientists out of the University of Exeter believe that smelling farts actually prevents cancer, among other diseases. http://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/757/Scientists-Say-Smelling-Farts-Prevents-Cancer#ZWlSJIteZc0R7jk8.01 "Although hydrogen sulfide gas"—produced when bacteria breaks down food—"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 said in a university release. Although the stinky gas can be noxious in large doses, scientists believe that a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria. Researchers are even coming up with their own compound to emulate the smell's health benefits. "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," Professor Matt Whiteman, of the University of Exeter Medical School said. "Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive." So instead of getting upset the next time you catch a whiff... be thankful.

Olfactophilia - The person is sexually aroused by body smells. Great thread topic, but these scientists are some sick f@@kers And to think..they tested how many people? I wonder if they got off on that ? " Oh come on, smell it for science "

And every time I gave her the Dutch oven she thought I was being mean when actually I was saving her life.

Maybe they've been wiffing too much! was a long time ago and thankfully i wasnt there long At the water plant we have hydrogen sulfate to test inspectors. Just a wiff. Wow it is powerful stuff. Your right it can incapacitate a person. The worst is the concentrated amonia. We use it to detect chlorine leaks. Thanks for the post. It would be nice if something like that could work.
