Is it a fact that vegetarians have worse smelling farts?!
Answers: because of fermentation of certain vegetable in the digestive tract
Only if they consume alot of cabbage family veggies!
You cannot generalize vegetarians as a whole as having smelly farts, fragrant farts, odorless poo, super stinky poo, and all the other odd allegations. These vary person to person and are influenced by diet, sure, but in the end there is no way to make a sweeping generalization.
Personally I think they all smell absolutely awful, I don't even know how there could be a scale of fart awfulness... is there some area of science that just measures and studies the degree of putridity of farts? Even smell itself is objective regarding whether it is or is not offensive.
NO! I like your humorous question but really no, fermentation of anything in your gut interacting with acids can make anything smell bad. Old joke is whats clear but smells like carrots?---Bunny farts. From personal experience, seafood and beer are a bad combo.
no, a vegitarian who has become accostomed to that diet will produce more flatus, but it will not reek like mine I pack a mighty punch in my trouser coughs thanks to my healty diet of red meat and pork products.
LOOK ON MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND TREMBLE!!!
Nah, not 'fact'....but I do some that a corpse would be proud of! lol
First of all, I do not go around smelling people's farts, and then stopping to ask if they are vegetarian or not. Maybe a poor grad student for a professor that is studying the effects of certain bacteria (the makers of the methane gas and other odd gases from eating the food that we eat and helps in our digestion) will have a composition notebook and will go around and make notes in the notebook while he/she smells farts and rates them (maybe a fart "Smellator" that will be like a portable chromatography machine to distinguish what gases the farts contain) and what their diet entails!
You have to remember that it is only not what the food is the digestive tract, but what kinds of bacteria are in your GI tract to ferment the stuff! Or even yeast (candida is one nasty smelling yeast :0 !).
I am direct quoting from "Facts on Farts," which concisely answers the question based on my research:
"The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts."
Essentially, the more sulfur-rich items one consumes, the more likely their flatulence will contain an odour. Another attribute of smells in flatulence is stomach infections.
Uh no! i say most of the carnivore boys in my class like have the worst smelling farts and like that is a lie cause like i am a vegggo and i don't have smelly farts!
that's hilarious. i always credit the fact that i don't have pungent gas on account that my body isnt trying to break down & digest animal flesh.
*** for those who arent vegetrian, please check out some slaughterhouse or peta vids on youtube. learn -where, who, what- your food comes from. you may change your mind.
Sometimes, when I'm really nervous, I stick my fingers in my butt crack and then smell 'em!!!
If you'd like to compare fart stank I'll send you one, what's your fax #, dear?
Since you didn't specify I will say that, yes, vegetarians have worse smelling farts than breath.
No, in fact I think it's improved since i quit eating meat. No more bloating fast food meals....
Yes, because they are wannabe vegetarians and really know little about the intricacies of nutrition. True vegans do not have that problem because we study and are taught the ancient wisdom of true veganism.
Wow, I don't believe that is a FACT.
All different types of food cause gas to build up.
For example: brocolli, lettuce, etc.
Also.....THE MEAT THAT IS ROTTING IN YOUR INTESTINES AS WE SPEAK.
:)
Since everyone's digestive tract is different, I would not say that just because someone is a vegetarian that their farts would smell worse than a meat eater.
Here's a personal example. My boyfriend is a meat eater, in fact, that is practially ALL he eats...and his farts are so bad the paint peels off the walls of our apartment.
I am a vegan, and my farts smell no worse than his. In fact, he has told me on many occasions that his farts ARE worse than mine!
I think the smelliness of farts depends upon an individual's body and not necessarily what they consume all the time.
But it is a good point you bring up..
hmmm....... good question. but i bet they do.
How's this for a sweeping generalization, who cares what their farts smell like All Vegetarians should be avoided because All Vegertarians are screwed up in the head. EAT BEEF, its whats for dinner
