Farts Re: World cancer death rates
Han Tacoma wrote: My personal opinion (I'm omnivore -- I love my burgers, veggies, fish and most anything you put in front of me) is tigers, dogs, cats, and other carnivores (other than hûman) IIRC have short digestive tracts i.e. a tiger is about 5 ft. so the meat in goes out quickly before rotting. Vegetarians have longer (a lot!) digestive tracts. When the veggies stay there for a while they tend to fart, while there is no evidence based research that the rotting meat causes cancer, there does seem to be anecdotal research suggesting such.

I can tell you *which* of my 2 dogs farts more than the other, at least so's we notice it. :) I think there are stats on that sort of thing somewhere. I've heard that cow farts account for a measurable percentage of the greenhouse gasses produced. I've never had any pets besides dogs.

I can tell you *which* of my 2 dogs farts more than the other, at least so's we notice it. :) Scientific Research Is Not Always Glamorous Maru Excerpt from http://www.heptune.com/farts.html : A carnivore's protein-rich diet produces relatively small amounts of intensely stinky gas because proteins contain lots of sulfur. A dog's or cat's farts are rarely audible, but the odor is overwhelming.I have asked biologists why dogs and cats generally fart silently, and their theories include: (1) the amount of gas produced is small, but potent, (2) the horizontal orientation of their gastrointestinal system puts less pressure on the anal opening, so the gas is expelled more slowly, (3) their anal sphincters don't close as tightly as humans' because it takes less force to hold in the contents of the colon -- again because of the horizontal orientation of the gastrointestinal system -- and a loose anus makes less sound, and, my favorite (4) dogs and cats don't feel embarrassed about farting, so their sphincters are more relaxed, leading to less noisy flatulence. Mike F. points out that many dog foods are soy-based, so on top of all the above factors, add beans and stand back! Large herbivorous animals such as cows, horses and elephants, on the other hand, produce vast quantities of relatively non-stinky fart gas. The farts of these animals are noisy and can go on for astoundingly long periods of time. Cows in particular are productive, in part because they swallow huge amounts of air. They need oxygen in their guts for the various protozoa employed there as digestive aids. Is it normal for dogs to like the smell of human farts? Yes, any odor that we find disgusting smells delicious to a dog. Dogs respond to the smell of farts, rotting fish, and carrion the same way we respond to the smell of bacon frying or cookies baking. A dog will often sniff the butt of the farter in order to inhale as much of the odor as possible. I have heard only one story about a dog being disconcerted by a fart. According to a friend, her brother once delivered a fart so evil that it made the dog sneeze, shake his head, and paw at his nose. That was either an unusual fart or an unusual dog. xponent Gas maru rob ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I'm constantly farting and I can't stop, even when I'm in church, in the line at the grocery store, or at my book club meeting, everywhere I go. But fortunately all the farts are completely silent and have no smell at all! In fact, I've farted several times already just since I've entered your office. The doctor says, I see. Here take these pills and come back in one week. A week later, the woman returns to the doctor, and tells him: Doc, I've been taking the pills like you said, but they don't work right! I'm still farting constantly, and they're still totally silent, but now my farts all stink like crazy! The doctor replies: Exellent! The pills are working perfectly - they've fixed your sense of smell! Now, here take these other pills to fix your hearing! _ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
