Doctor advises French countrymen to fart!

Guess its all part of a master plan. I suspect it will affect the French olfactory organs aimed at a progressive perfumes market to flourish locally as well!

Throw caution to wind, France told

A French doctor is urging his countrymen to give free rein to flatulence, sweating and other bodily taboos to reduce the risk of cancer.


In his book, Le Grand Ménage (Spring cleaning), Frédéric Saldmann
invites them to embrace the stereotypical British view of the French and to
have a relaxed attitude to bodily functions.


Dr Saldmann also recommends cutting down on chewing gum, never eating while
walking and reducing the intake of fizzy drinks.


Similarly, he says his countrymen should feel free to belch at will and
certainly after each meal. This, he says, is the best way to reduce the risk
of getting a hiatal hernia, an ailment which affects almost a third of
French people. Keeping air in the stomach leads to more heartburn, which
increases the risk of cancer of the oesophagus. The rise of this disease in
France, he says, is due to "the burp that we no longer do".
