Companionship is very good for humans, although it would be difficult to include in these gases the intestinal tract of our other half!
And when you say that nothing dissolves the magic of a relationship faster than the noise and the unpleasant smell of such a brazen act, science comes to show you your tragic mistake.
Because as we are typically told researchers at the University of Exeter, it is good to inhale your partner's gases (and vice versa of course). And here's why (via chief researcher Mark Wood): "Despite the fact that hydrogen sulfide is the well-known acidic and foul-smelling gas found in egg cages and stomach gases, it is naturally produced in the body and can in fact be a hero of with significant implications for the future treatment of a variety of diseases ".
The hydrogen sulfide itself that is responsible for the stench of the gases, the study tells us, is what provides so many benefits to our health. Like, one would ask? Researchers tell us that hydrogen sulfide, as a microbial by-product, can reduce our risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke, but also prevent diseases such as arthritis and senile dementia. It also helps maintain the mitochondria, the "cell factories" that deliver the necessary energy and regulate how the body responds to inflammation.
"When cells are suppressed by disease, they rely on enzymes to release tiny amounts of hydrogen sulfide," says Matt Whiteman, a professor at the University of Exeter School of Medicine. "If this does not happen, then the cells will die and lose their ability to regulate our survival or control infections."
The researchers then developed a laboratory equivalent of hydrogen sulfide, a gas called AP39, which showed that "if infected cells receive AP39, then the mitochondria are protected and the cells remain alive." So why make artificial hydrogen sulfide when we have plenty of it and free from each other's gases?
