It's Friday, and what better way to spend the day that starts with F than talking about Flatulence?
Anyone who has accidentally let one rip in a social situation understands the immediate horror associated with getting caught passing gas. But instead of being ashamed when you fart in public, you should embrace your dirty deed with pride, as you may have just helped saved someone's life. Well, that's what a study currently getting some attention might suggest, but it's more complicated than that.
The study out of the University of Exeter in the UK found that the hydrogen sulfide gas found in rotten eggs and flatulence could reduce the risk of cancer, heart attack, strokes, arthritis, and dementia.

I just watched the movie, The Man, with Samuel L Jackson and Eugene Levy. Every time Levy ate beef, he had some "accidents" Seems most of those people he came in contact with, had severe amounts of problems with this idea.

This is just another attempt by pseudo science to promote the gay agenda. Keeping your nose where the sun don't shine makes you healthy.

Then we old oil field guys should be the healthiest people on the planet, we’re around H2s all the time. Azz gas ain’t nothing compared to some of these stinking wells in West TX.
What do you know they were right...Beans, beans, good for your heart.
