Only recently has the ?fluffis outis,? or ?lint gland,? as it?s more commonly known, been discovered?and by accident too (the surgeon had to go ?back in? looking for his watch). Your lint gland sits just below the surface of your bellybutton, shaped a little like an apple core.
So why do we have bellybutton lint? Well, it has numerous applications.
Evolutionists have always claimed, and still do, that the lint is all that now remains from our evolutionary time as a guinea pig. Some countries have known for centuries the high nutritional value of bellybutton lint. With its high concentrate of folate and chicken-like taste, they serve it as an exotic delicacy to those who can afford it (apparently it tastes great with soya sauce and honey). In some of the colder-climate countries, people make garments out of lint, which is proven to be up to 40 per cent warmer than sheep?s wool. Other civilizations have been known to use lint for housing, communication, recreation and transport.
So it seems that bellybutton lint really is nature?s own Swiss army knife.
