I miss Phil Hartman, another good Brantford, Ontario (that’s in Canada) boy who lived there until he was10-years-old, when his family moved to the U.S. His third wife shot him to death while he slept in 1998.
He had a satiric advertisement for a cereal called Colon Blow during his Saturday Night Live years (see below).
My Joy Online reports that Poop Like a Champion is an actual cereal that can allegedly get your bowels moving like nothing else.
Advertised as “the ultimate colon cleansing formula” or “the number one high fiber cereal for number 2’s,” Poop Like a Champion cereal is packed full of fibers and designed specifically to help you get those bowels moving.
Its creators aren’t ashamed to admit that it’s not the greatest tasting cereal money can buy, but it’s not meant to blow you away with its amazing flavor, it’s meant to help you go potty, and apparently, it’s very good at doing that.
Tomorrow morning, a doctor is going to stick a camera up my ass.
I’ve been on the pre-colonoscopy diet for three days now, and today is the broken-jaw version I had when I was 18, but worse.
No protein. No fruits or veg.
Just clear liquids. I have a bunch of chicken stock I made last night.
I live in sub-tropical Brisbane which has a fabulous supply of produce and proteins, and I’m eating Jello.
Later today I have to take some colon blow stuff which involves being on the toilet for about 4 hours.
But at least my poop won’t be black.
Dustin Nelson of Thrillist writes that coal-black slushies are one of Burger King’s Halloween specials this year. It’s a Frozen Fanta Scary Black Cherry, and it’s seriously dark. The drink has attracted an unexpected amount of attention not for its flavor, but for, uh, the impact of its dark hue. In fact, people have been heading to Burger King just to get a good look at the, umm, effects.
Maybe people couldn’t resist the intestinal challenge of an artificially black treat or maybe they remember the unique results of eating that black-bunned Whopper a couple years back. Either way, people are grabbing the cherry treat and reporting on social media that it turns your mouth intensely black. Oh, and it also turns your poop a fun color. Though, no one really agrees on a single color. People have said their results have been black, green, and even blue. Whatever the individual result, it’s not on your usual spectrum of poop colors.
Asked for comment, a Burger King representative said, “For those who want to know, try it and find out.”
My female doctor also had a great suggestion for checking my prostrate, cause I’m of that age too.
She said she could do it while I was passed out for the colonoscopy.
Sign me up.
Another good Brantford boy, Phil Hartman, who was tragically killed by his third wife, is featured below.
The study found that “dietary choice affects Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 colonization and disease.”
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) researchers found that mice who were fed high fiber diets (HFD) had very high levels of intestinal butyrate, a gut metabolite which enhances the gut binding-capacity of Shiga toxin – of the bacterium E. coli.
Alison O’Brien, Ph.D., chair of USU’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology, led the study, which was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health.
While the study does indicate that there is a connection between risk for E. coli infection and high fiber diets, it doesn’t promote changing eating habits that are healthy, especially given that eating fiber is an effective means of reducing the risk of first time stroke, according to a study published in the journal Stroke.
She concluded that “high fiber diets are good for you. However, fresh produce comes from all over the world, so we need to be extra vigilant in keeping our produce free of microbial contaminants.”
