Hard Question.

Another unpleasant by-product of digestion is the fart. These result from the gas produced by bacteria in your bowel breaking down fibre and starch - creating methane, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulphide (AKA rotten egg gas).

"Some people create more methane gas, which means their farts don't smell," says Professor Bolin. "Others produce more hydrogen sulphide." They're the ones you don't want to be stuck next to on a plane. The type of gas you produce depends on the type of bacteria in your bowel. According to Professor Bolin, the type of bacteria now dwelling in your nether regions is determined by what your mum ate when she was pregnant with you, and what you ate up until you were about seven. So next time someone lets a stinker rip in the lift, blame their mum.
