I was reading an article in the newspaper on how to pick out produce. One of the suggestions for ripening fruit was to put the fruit in a paper bag along with a tomato or a banana. It stated that the banana and tomato emit ethylene gas , which plants use to regulate growth.

If the banana and tomato emit this gas..what effect does this cause inside our body? Logically, wouldn't these fruits cause us to become more gassy?
