Exiting News: “Smart” Underwear” Is Now A Thing!!

Scientists have developed “smart underwear” (or a wearable sensor that can clip onto your underwear), that can monitor gut bacteria activity, by “measuring the hydrogen gas in your flatulence.” And it can even do this on-the-go (a battery charge can last up to a week)! Researchers say the device detects dietary changes with 95% accuracy, and it has revealed that the average person passes gas 32 times daily. Far more than the 10 to 20 times people typically self-report (or the 3 times per YEAR your wife or girlfriend claim). Scientists are excited because the current options for studying gut bacteria are very limited, and this could help diagnose digestive issues.
