By what mechanism does coffee=>BM? (Possible TMI)

[QUOTE=CookingWithGas]
Your initial postis the refutation I’m referring to. You lambasted Fear Itself without providing any facts. Well, I provided a fact. Anecdotal, but at least it’s a fact. It was relevant to the discussion. Your “congratulations” had a distinct sarcastic odor. If you don’t want to read about bowel movement then you should avoid opening threads with “BM” in the title. :smiley:

Here’s a good site for this topic, which has information that agrees with Fear Itself, although it also says that bowel movements need not be daily to be healthy.

I disagreed with the mistaken notion that having one’s bowels on a precise 24-hour schedule was a particular sign of good health. You piped up to say that your bowels are on a precise schedule, and I congratulated you. You didn’t provide any relevant information at all - your anecdote does nothing to prove that somehow your precise, ninja-like bowels make you healthier. You said that your bowels operate on a precise schedule. I’m certainly not going to argue with your statements to that effect. But that doesn’t even suggest, let alone prove, that such a precise schedule is somehow healthy.

As your own cite indicates.
