I was flipping through the channels and couldn't stop myself from listening to an infomercial for some sort of pill to help one be healthier.
I can't remember the name of it, but the product is all about cleaning out your bowel. The fellow said that studies show that most adults have 22 pounds of fecal material in their bodies at any given time and that taking this product will gradually eat away the build-up in the bowel to normalize bowel function to what nature intended it to be, primarily that your stool will increase in girth and length.

The speaker also mentioned that John Wayne's autopsy results showed that he had over 40 pounds of "waste" in his bowel and that if he'd had some sort of way (like this pill being advertised) to rid his body of all that, he would have lived for YEARS longer! (So the Duke died from being full of shit???)

Anyway... here's to your bowel health! I wish you long, fat poops! :-)

That is most interesting indeed.

And I am very surprised to find out that "most adults have 22 pounds of fecal material in their bodies at any given time ".

I find it a most diplomatic way of suggesting somehing else...

I've heard this John Wayne story before, but I wonder what, if anything, it really proves if true. If most people have 22 lbs. of waste hanging around their intestines, is it because our diet is improper or is this the way we were intended to function? At any rate, it would seem to me that correcting your diet would prove to be more beneficial than just blowing the whole works out with some new-fangled pill.

I have found a story debunking the whole idea on this page. Have a look:
