It was about the 45# of undigested beef in John Wayne's colon... That kinda rumor...mostly advertising scam...has been around for decades. I thought everyone would know by now. It's the kinda rumor that's propagated by those trying to scam you into buying all sorts of junky products and procedures.
Sorry if I offended you...really
What Joe said is absolutely true. Fiber 'holds' water in the ingesta and keeps it from drying out and becoming hard...and hard to pass. Metamucil style products also have some mucous type lube as part of their function. Straining can cause all kinds of health probs as has been discussed before. All digestion and absorption of nutrients is done in the small intestine. The large intestine is to absorb water but absorbing too much ain't good either. Moving stuff along also prevents the absorption of some toxic byproducts... To be healthy one should pass everything you eat in 24 hr or less.
