I can't believe that I read, or am responding to this thread.

This sounds like raw food/vegan propaganda. Just my opinion.

Although I'm sure there is no shortage of folks who think their sh-- don't stink.

The only poop factoid I am aware of is that floaters may indicate that your diet has too much fat content. So if sinking and floating are equally problematic, what then are the defining characteristics of the optimal poop experience? I shall go sit on the throne and ponder this awhile...

I always thought it was the opposite. Floaters imply a diet rich in fiber. Also the more fiber you have the less wiping you have to do. Think about horses, cows,..... they never wipe.

Wow. A poop joke and a Trigonometry joke in the same post. The party has just gotten going in here. ;-)

This thread is wrong....

No, silly, the apple becomes poop after you eat it. It's all quite miraculous really. (I think Powerbars go out essentially unchanged.)

You really have to read the book. That and The Gas We Pass. Not just educational children's books, they're great fun for the whole (uptight) family.

You can tell the whole story by the cover.

The horse eats the apple, the kid eats the horse, and the bird craps on the kids head while he's out running in the park.

I don't think there's anything wrong with sinkers.

However, if you have especially foul-smelling, oily stool it might mean you have fat malabsorbtion

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

i think when i have more gatorade & powerbars than I can handle, my poop turns kinda green...

Actually most floaters are due to gases in the stool, like methane. This can be due to lots of beans or soluble fiber, or lactose intolerance, etc. Unless you have a fat malabsorption problem you should have enough bile salts to help you absorb most of your fat.

Neutral buoyancy is the objective.

Man, this is way too anal. I've never had any objectives when it comes to fecal bouyancy. I mean, I like to set goals and all, but I've not really developed a plan to ensure proper stool specific gravity and all.

Hmmm, some people test their blood.....so maybe testing poop is next.....

Are you gonna be the one who handles all of it?

It seems to me ,dark colored one are too much protein , Clay tan type are Mex. food,bread, corn, flour, carbos . The smelly type are because too much intestine time with no enzyme or fiber ,where it ferments not digests, Eat plain white yogurt (continental is super) and some citrusel or any good fiber, this will have you making short visits to the rest room ,with no door fanning, hoping no one with smell it. Normally alcohol and sugar will kill your digestion. We all have about 5 -12 pounds of fluid to digest food in our system . Forget the vegi diet , those people have gas also.

Beans beans good for the heart

The more you eat, the more you fart.
