Next time you accidentally . . . or intentionally . . . BREAK WIND, and your friends and family start yelling at you, here's your new excuse:  You're just trying to keep your BLOOD PRESSURE down.  

--There's a new study out of Southeast University in Nanjing, China that found passing gas just might be a CURE for high blood pressure.  

--Researchers found that the hydrogen sulfide you release when you pass gas is produced by an enzyme in your blood vessels.  That enzyme helps your blood vessels relax, which lowers your blood pressure.  

--So far, they've only tested this on mice . . . but they believe it could also be effective on humans.
