Phew! Why do farts smell like rotten eggs?
Not all farts smell, but some of them are whoppers.
When the bacteria in our colon break down food, it produces gases with a foul odor.
But the distinct smell of rotten eggs comes from sulfur. If you eat a lot of it, you’re more likely to smell it.
Foods with a lot of sulfur include broccoli, kale, nuts, beer, onions, red meat, cheese - and yes, eggs.
