For years, Joe has been preaching to us about how unhealthy it is to hold your farts in. Well, there may finally be some scientific proof to back that up!
Clare Collins, a nutrition and dietetics professor at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, recently wrote an essay warning people of the dangers of holding in gas. Collins warns that clenching your cheeks could cause the gas to be reabsorbed into the blood stream, meaning that it will have nowhere to go and will eventually escape out of your mouth! Yup, you heard that right. Fart burps.
Collins went on to say that the only way to remedy this issue is to, well, fart. Go to a private location and let ‘er rip!
Looks like Joe was right all along!
