Farts curing cancer? Ridiculous as it may sound, this seemingly unbelievable assertion is actually based on cutting-edge research literature. A scientific study published just last year in the journal Medicinal Chemistry Communications outlines how small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) in our cells can decrease their likelihood of becoming damaged. More specifically, the molecule helps mitochondria, the “powerhouse” of the cell responsible for energy production, to cope with certain chemical stresses that have been linked to numerous diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and even cancer.1
