Infomercial, carrying around fifteen pounds of fecal matter?

Factual Questions
1

Yeah, I know, but that’s what the dude says, that we carry around ten or fifteen pounds of “fecal matter”. They are pushing some kind of cure/detoxifyer

Maybe one of the medical types could “weigh” in?

ETA, It’s apparently the usual “herbal dual action cleanse” thing.

I know it’s BS, but the fifteen pounds of crap thing I am wondering about.

We have done this one before.
No you are not carrying 15 pounds (or 30 or 50) of extra shit in your colon.

Heh, I guess I should have known it was done before. Thanks, I just figured a search would yield a lot of crap.

You mods are welcome to close this crappy thread.
