People with diabetes run the risk of being bugged with heart complications. In the quest of discovering novel treatments for diabetics who are haunted by this ravaging condition, UK scientists are turning to an unlikely ally: smelly gas.
Laugh all you want, but highly-esteemed researchers are taking this topic very seriously.
The recent research paper shared that “rotten egg” gas helped protect the blood vessels from glucose damage in diabetic mice models. According to the lead author of the article, this nauseating smell is credit to a compound called hydrogen sulfide and yields “range of health benefits, when carefully administered in minute doses in a highly targeted way in the body.”
If this hard-to-believe treatment happens to hit the market one day, how many of you will be willing to give it try?
