Pffftttt..... Oops I Did It Again

The root word of fart is called flatus or flatulence. Fart is basically a combination of gases i.e. carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide that originally produced because of the air that we swallow and foods that the human digestive system cannot be easily digest.

What stinks the fart is the hydrogen sulfide gas produced by the reactions of bacterias in the large intestine. As it contains the sulfur component, this is what makes the fart smells with odor. Therefore, the more sulfur in the diet, the more the fart smells. Food that contributes odor: beans, bread, cauliflower, cabbage, cheese, soda, beer, raisins and eggs - these are the high sulfur food. The degree of stench also depend on how much air the person swallowed, what kind of bacteria in the intestine (rather scientific) and how long is the fart being in the intestine. The longer the fart is saved in intestine, the larger the proportion of nitrogen gas component, because the other gases tend to be absorbed by the walls of the intestine into the bloodstream i.e oxygen, carbon dioxide.

Most people's misconception of noisy fart is that the noise is generated by the flapping of the ass cheeks. In fact, noise is practically produced by the vibration of the anal opening. It is mainly dependant on the how fast the emission of gas through anus and the tightness of the tiny muscles of anus. Generally, the more accelerated the expulsion, the higher volume it produce. Most chinese people that you can hear them fart like nobody's business in the public, you should know he is forcing his fart out of the anus in high speed and of course, with constant training and exercising, his masculine anus is very powerful!

Do men fart more than women?

There is a large variation among individual on the amount of fart produced daily, but the variation does not correlate with gender. On the average, a healthy person farts 16 times a day! If men fart more than women, then women must be saving it in the intestine and therefore expelling more nitrogen gas per fart than men. So, women fart as much as men do.

What made people fart more?

People that swallow alot of air often fart more often that people who don't. Chewing a gum, smoking or sucking on lollipops are the main factors made people fart more. During meal, eat with mouth closed, eat slowly and not gulping with the food or liquid. Nervous people would swallowed in alot of air and the system unable to absorb excess of air, therefore produces more farts than other individuals. Tilting the head back and pouring a drink straight down (chugging) also result to an excess of air being swallowed, and, more farts.

Is it harmful to hold farts?

No. Farts do not poison. The worst scenario is stomach ache caused by the gas pressure. Farts would eventually travel back to the intestine to be released later. It will not transform or absorbed again, except for oxygen component.

Can fart burn?

Yes. It is true in the movie Beavis and Butthead as fart contains methane and hydrogen, both of which are flammable gases.
