What is your poo telling you about your health? It's the burning question that has everybody's head in the toilet these days.
  • Anyone who has a pet knows that feces indicate health.

    Sure, this topic is easy to mock, but most people also acknowledge that what comes out of your body is a pretty good indication of what's going on inside. Red-tinged urine? Bright green mucus? Yellow saliva? Runny stools? You got yourself a problem, partner.

    When I clean my cats' litter box, if I find diarrhea or exceptionally dry stools, I pay extra attention to my cats' behavior. If the problem keeps recurring, then I know somebody is not doing well. I assume that dog owners take note too when Fido does his business

    If it's good enough for cats and dogs, it's good enough for people too, right?

    For anyone who cares -- for anyone who gives a shit -- my own deposits into the porcelain bank account have been consistently good since I went vegetarian, except for the few times I've been sick. There's that health connection again.
