What your poop can tell you about your health - Hannibal Person

Travel into the digestive system to see how food is turned into waste, and what causes the different colors and textures of poop. -- The average person poops out approximately 11,030 kilograms of cumulative waste in a lifetime. That’s the equivalent of more than 6 SUVs. Oftentimes, that poop is brown. Why is that, considering all the comestibles one consumes? And what’s going on when poop appears in different colors and textures? Hannibal Person explains the colorful choreography going on inside your bowels. Lesson by Hannibal Person, directed by Flávia Godoy, Lívia Serri Francoio.
