Submission + - Sniffing your own farts could boost brain power, fend off Alzheimer's: new study (nypost.com)
alternative_right writes: Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have found that hydrogen sulfide — the rotten egg-smelling chemical compound expelled when one breaks wind — could protect aging brain cells from cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, which is diagnosed in roughly 500,000 new patients each year in the US.
Previous research has shown that female flatulence actually has a “significantly higher concentration” of hydrogen sulfide than farts from men — meaning women’s gas tends to have “greater odor intensity” than men’s.
