My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you'd be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

I’m asking you for the source for your information up there. I was legitimately curious and believed you to be inviting yourself to this discussion in the interest to discuss honestly but I see now from the link provided now you’re just a 15 day old account trolling bad actor being unfairly confrontational here with misinformation you probably just gained out of some AI slop. I didn’t sign on for this and I don’t know what I did to set you off. Nor do I believe you’d give a fair reason for behaving this way. (I’m sure it’s just laziness anyways)

Either way I chose not to give it more of my precious time or energy so enjoy the block.

For the benefit of any other posters who are legitimately curious as I am: I really do hope they do look into studying this further.(for real)

I'm set off? 😂

It's very difficult to prove a negative. There's tons of papers out there with weak evidence and poor methodologies and very low citations claiming various non-ionizing EM are bad. The problem is the lack of reproducibility. You can look up meta-analysis on this, if you like.
