If you catch your child with a finger up his nose, you probably discourage it. But could the “bad” childhood habit of picking your nose and eating it, actually begood for you?

A biochemist from the University of Saskatchewan has theorized that nasal mucus, or as it’s more commonly known, boogers, has a sugary taste that’s meant to entice you to want to eat it.

Doing this, he believes, may help introduce pathogens from your environment to your immune system, resulting in the building up of natural defenses.

To be honest, I'm fairly healthy and am satisfied with my medical records. I'm think I'll continue to pass on the whole "eating your boogers" thing....

Same here ^   I'm 19 & only got sick about 5 times in my whole life, I think I'm healthy enough...

I've been collecting my boogers and other people's for several years, waiting for a business opportunity like this. I have several tons of boogers from all over, arranged by different regions of the world. Using these boogers I will make Booger Crackers, toasted and roasted for maximum flavor. There will at least 50 different flavors, seasoned to represent popular dishes from that area. Sadly I've been waiting for FDA approval for the last 30 years...

What the hell is the point of this thread?


But really, there's really NO point of eating your boogers. It's both gross and an unhealthy habit. I would rather eat something like carrots or a salad than eat boogers.

WELL...... Apparently eating a slimy green booger supposedly boosts your immune system. Sounds like a great deal right?

? No. I knew this info before, so I've been going around collecting boogers. 0 fat, 0 sugar, a good amount of nutrients, and they taste amazing. It's honestly the perfect snack.

Also, mucus coats your stomach to protect your stomach walls from stomach acid.

You should check your other head.

 

Well then, you're crazy.
