Holding in a fart can cause you to breathe it out of your mouth instead

We all love letting out a huge fart. It's annoying and comfortable when you have to hold it in but general etiquette means you can't just go round farting whenever you feel like it...or can you?! A new study shows that holding in a fart can actually have some pretty grim consequences.

According to experts, holding in a fart can cause gas to recirculate around the body and come out from some rather bizarre places. Clare Collins, a professor in nutrition explain what farts are and what happens if you hold them in. She said:

The next time you feel a large volume of intestinal gas getting ready to do what it does, try to move to a more convenient location. Whether you make it there or not, the best thing for your digestive health is to just let it go.A build up of intestinal gas can trigger abdominal distension, with some gas reabsorbed into the circulation and exhaled in your breath. Holding on too long means the build up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart."

Gross. That might explain some peoples shitty breath! So there you have it. screw politeness, just let it rip.
