The next time someone passes gas in the elevator, don’t forget to thank him, he might just have helped you avoid cancer. Researchers at the University of Exeter are claiming that hydrogen sulfide, the gas produced by digestive bacteria in our bodies, can actually help prevent diseases like cancer, strokes, arthritis, heart attacks, and dementia.
In a statement by the Dr. Mark Wood, he says that the gas can be helpful in small doses (so don’t go out sniffing every fart just yet.) ‘When cells become stressed by disease, they draw in enzymes to generate minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide. This keeps the mitochondria ticking over and allows cells to live. If this doesn’t happen, the cells die and lose the ability to regulate survival and control inflammation’.
Scientists are currently trying to produce a compound that would mimic the gas’ health benefits – hopefully, without the stinky aroma. So while we’re all waiting for that compound, let’s bask in the ambiance of human gas for a healthier tomorrow!
