Can eating peanut make you fart?

Can eating peanut make you  fart?
          
Peanut is a popular snack in many countries. It easy plant and easy find in supermarket or market. There are many benefits for health such as protein and low cholesterol. It can be transformed to many menus such as peanut butter etc. So when people are hungry, they often eat peanut. But there are many people who usually fart after eating food that there is peanut. From these statements I think that eating peanut will make you fart.


In my experiment, there are three conditions and one control. There are eight participants. Two participants in each condition and control. In the first condition, participants will eat one pack of peanut snack in one day. In the second condition, participants will eat two pack of peanut snack in one day. In the last condition, participants will eat three pack of peanut snack in one day. From control, participants won’t eat any peanut snack in one day. I will ask every participant about the number of times of fart in one day.

The result shows that participants in the first condition, farting about 2-3 times in one day. Participants in the second condition farting about 4-5 times in one day. Participants in the last condition fart about 6-7 times in one day and participants in control fart about 0-1 times in one day.


From the result I can find that participants who eat peanut will usually fart more than participants who don’t eat peanut. For participants who eat peanut more will usually fart more. Hence, I can conclude that eating peanut causes more fart.

The reason why eating peanut causes farting is in peanut there are many fiber and some starch. In the digestive system of human, we can’t assimilate fiber and starch. Therefore, many bacteria in the large intestine have to assimilate fiber and starch. For this process, there are much gas to be released in the large intestine. When gas mixed with bolus in the large intestine, it causes bad gas that causes fart.
