Prevent cancer thanks to smell ... 'farting'

"On the nature of the gas, each" deflated "is hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) is produced by bacterial decomposition of food in the digestive system of the body. It is known as a type of spicy, gas smell rotten eggs and flatulence. However it is produced naturally in the body and in fact this gas is a hero for health care with important implications for future treatments for a range of diseases, "said Dr. Mark Wood, Chairman of the research, statements on TIME.

Smell "a small burst" in the process "deflated" capable of reducing the risk of cancer.

Despite the foul gases that can cause food poisoning with large doses but the researchers said that the smell "a small burst" in the process "deflated" has the ability to reduce the risk of cancer, stroke, myocardial infarction, arthritis, disease and dementia... by protecting mitochondria (mitochondria-energy centre of the cell metabolism is the organic matter into energy the cell can use).

From this result, the researchers are aiming for a higher step is analysis and synthesis of self is a smelly gases are similar but have interests in health care.

"We have to exploit this natural process and has designed a compound called AP39. When provided with a very small amount from from this special gas the company plastid in cells of humans will be better protected, help to prevent many types of illness ", Professor Matt Whiteman, who worked on the study published in the journal of Medicinal Chemistry , said.=
