Scientists Say That Eating Your Boogers is Good for You... Ummm...

Scientists at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered that picking your nose boogers is actually good for you!

Their findings concluded that “nasal mucus’ rich reservoir of ‘good’ bacteria prevents cavity-causing bacteria from sticking to teeth, also suggest snot could defend against respiratory infections, stomach ulcers and even HIV.”

Researches want to also create a booger toothpaste and chewing gum. Imagine a world when we ask “hey can you pass the booger gum.”

Two researchers appeared on This Morning, to chat about their recent findings and the hosts reaction’s say it all. Check out the video below.
