VEGANISM IS A LOAD OF HOT AIR

VEGANS fart more often than their meat-loving counterparts.

And people on a plant-based diet do bigger poos too.

A study of 20 men aged 18 to 38 found they parped up to seven times more on a veggierich Mediterranean diet.

Each fart contained about 50% more gas. And their poos were double the usual size – up to 200g a day – compared with a Western diet.

Claudia Barber led the study at the prestigious Liver and Digestive Diseases Networking

Biomedical Research Centre in Barcelona, Spain.

She said: “As compared to a Western diet, the Mediterranean diet was associated with higher number of anal gas evacuations and sensation of flatulence. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes increased the volume of colonic biomass by 60%.”
