I just finished reading an article I found in the Health section of Yahoo. I love how they delve into topics that truly speak to the problems of today, problems of everyman, yes I speak of that ever popular topic - flatulence.(http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081023/sc_livescience/thestinkinfartscontrolsbloodpressure;_ylt=AhZgmtCboxjVaRoqykJNlfsDW7oF)
It appears, according to this article, that the more repulsive your gas is, the healthier you may be. Scientists conducted tests on rats and determined that the stinkier the gas, the less it suffers from high blood pressure. Apparently stinky gas is the body's way of eliminating the bad stuff that causes high blood pressure.
Now I say to myself, who came up with this research project? Was someone inspired by a stinky co-worker? Or did one day the scientist just wonder, why are some toots merely melodious while others are truly malodorous!
After reading this article, I have come to the realization that I know some very healthy people who now I can only surmise do not suffer from high blood pressure.
