“ Coffee is a complex beverage containing more than 1,000 chemical compounds, many of which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. And determining how they affect the intestines is challenging.”

Snip

“[A] gut response to coffee can happen fast. In the same study, some volunteers agreed to have a pressure-sensing probe inserted into their colon to measure intestinal muscle contractions before and after drinking a cup of Joe. Among those who said that coffee usually stimulated a bowel movement, the probe showed a significant increase in pressure within four minutes of drinking coffee, while the so-called nonresponders had no change in colon activity.”

“ That drinking a cup of coffee can stimulate the opposite end of the gastrointestinal tract within minutes means “it’s probably going through the gut-brain axis,” Dr. Martindale said. That is, the arrival of coffee in the stomach sends a message to the brain, which then “stimulates the colon to say, ‘Well, we’d better empty out, because things are coming downstream,’” he explained. ”

Something else I never wanted to know.

Made you look

So that's only one reason why we can maybe safely bet MormØŽism is so terribly full of poop?

The only other causation is it puts it's leaders in charge while possibly asleep at the wheel.

Did they factor in the stimulative effect of an anal probe?

(Hi Beth. Fine weather for ducks we're having!)

The coffee will blow the anal probe out like a champagne cork and create a brown mess that would make Willy Wonka envy.

Our coffee is so good, it will go through you like grease through a goose.

Because coffee is evil. If we ban coffee, we won't have to ban poop!
