Submitted by ub on

No, its not what you may have been thinking, or though otherwise, but scientists now say that smelling FARTS may be good for us.

Most everyone who has accidentally let one rip in a social situation understands the personal embarrassment of getting caught passing gas. If you felt it, you dealt it. 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.
