Stinky Farts May Be Good For You!

Apparently there’s a reason for that astounding stinky egg smell: It helps regulate blood pressure.

That odor is caused by something called gastrotransmitters, which trigger a blood pressure-regulating enzyme. You think I could make this stuff up?

So remember, the next time your uncle asks you to pull his finger, you may be helping his health!
