Doctor urges French to fart and burp more

A French doctor is urging his fellow countrymen to fart, burp and sweat more to reduce the risk of cancer.

Dr Fredéric Saldmann believes French people should "dare to fart" and get rid of the two litres of gas produced each day, otherwise it can be harmful to the intestines.

In his book Le Grand Ménage, Dr Saldmann says French people should embrace the stereotypical Pommie view of the French — acting anti-social and burping after each meal — as reported in the UK's The Daily Telegraph.

The doctor claims that when one keeps air in the stomach, it can lead to more heartburn, which increases the risk of cancer of the oesophagus. The rise of this disease in France, Dr Saldmann says, is due to locals no longer partaking in the noisy art of burping.

In addition, Dr Saldmann advises nice smelling Frenchies to abandon antiperspirants to prevent toxins accumulating in the body.

So there you have it folks. Burping and farting is good for you. Next time the missus gives you an ear full for dropping a bomb under the duvet you can say it's for the good of your health.

Does that mean beer is also now good for you as beer = burps and farts?

[SERIOUS]I'm sick of "X causes cancer". in reality, anything which potentially causes any form of harm to a body can cause cancer, so whenever you have a slow news day, the media picks something.[/SERIOUS]

Excellent, but I don't need another reason to belch or fart, thank you very much!

Ahhh ... I already planned to live forever.
It's working out well so-far, and I think this news might just put the icing on the cake.

So ... extending the logic ... if you belch & fart enough, you may well look younger too ?
I predict the ladies will take an increased interest in breaking wind.

a friend of mine fainted in a shopping centre after holding in her farts all day...she was brought to hospital and nearly died of embarassment when the doc told her it was just 'extra gas'....which it was!!!!

She now farts away to her hearts content unless ther's a guy about that she fancies... True story!
