DON'T GO FOR THE GOLD, GO FOR THE LIGHT BROWN
Don't ask me how I stumbled across the webpage for Puristat (I can't remember -- honest!), but suffice to say, Puristat is a product designed for colon cleansing. You might be interested to know that the webpage provides a specific answer to the centuries-old question: What is the ideal bowel movement?
NOTE!!!! DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE QUEASINESS ISSUES.
OK, you've been warned.
Here, direct from the folks at Puristat, is the answer. I'm NOT making this up.
"The 'ideal' movement should be soft, light brown in color, not have a foul order and should float or sink slowly. It should break up when the toilet is flushed. Dr. Oz says it should glide into the water like an 'Acapulco highdiver' -- with very little splash. A plop-plop-plop indicates hard, dry bowels. Ideal movements should happen 2-3 times per day....When you experience this, you'll be amazed at how quickly your energy levels rise and your entire outlook transforms."
It's clear that Dr. Oz has spent a LOT more time over the course of his life staring into toilets than I have. I'm actually feeling kind of guilty.
It's 8:00 pm. Do you know what YOUR poop looks like?

Here is a link that very scientifically debunks colon cleansing, and it's not any less funny for its scientific rigor, so it's worth reading. I attach a bonus sequel on gallstones, which is even more remarkable.

Thank you, Jenny! My colon and gall bladder can hardly wait to visit these sites.
