A study from the University of Exeter in England suggests that exposure to hydrogen sulfide, also known as what the human body produces when bacteria break down food, could prevent disease-causing damage to mitochondria. Yes, the implication is that smelling flatulence could cure cancer and extend life expectancy.

The study, published in the journal Medicinal Chemistry Communications, found that hydrogen sulfide gas in rotten eggs and flatulence could be a key factor in treating disease.
“Although hydrogen sulfide gas is well known as a pungent and smelly gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it occurs naturally in the body and could indeed be a health hero with significant implications in future therapies for a variety of diseases, “said Dr. Mark Wood, a professor at the University of Exeter, in a statement.
While hydrogen sulfide gas is harmful in large doses, the study suggests that “a puff here and there has the power to reduce the risks of cancer, stroke, heart attack, arthritis and dementia by preserving mitochondria,” reports the Time. However, as Dr. Csaba Szabo clarified to NBC, “nothing in this research says we should inhale farts.”
The study discusses the development of a compound, called AP39, which in laboratory experiments delivered very small amounts of hydrogen sulfide to mitochondria, an organelle that is the source of energy for cells, preventing them from shutting down under stress from an illness.
