Medical experts advise flatulent flyers: Let it rip mid-flight

A group of medical specialists has provided an answer to a dilemma that has faced flyers since the Wright brothers took to the air in 1903 — is it okay to fart mid-flight?


now we know where no-fly lists are born

However, here is the part of the study that MFM has been waiting on

The result was an in-depth review of scientific literature on flatulence, looking at issues such as whether women’s farts smell worse than men’s (yes), what causes the odour (sulphur) and how often the average person passes wind every day (10).
