Is there really 6 kg of stool in the human body?
The human intestine is a very complex system that includes parts such as the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. The small intestine is mainly responsible for absorbing nutrients from food, while the large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and forming stool.
Stool forms gradually in the large intestine, but sometimes, for some reason, some of the stool may become trapped in the intestine, forming a so-called "stool".
In fact, this figure is a widely spread misconception that while some people may experience intestinal retention for a period of time, it does not mean that they have 6 kg of stool in their body.
In fact, according to medical research, the length and curvature of the human intestine are very complex, and the distribution of feces in the intestines is not uniform, so it is difficult to determine whether there is 6 kg of stool in a person's body.
In addition, there are many microbial flora in the gut of the human body, which play an important role in human health. These flora can help digest food, synthesize vitamins, and maintain gut health. Therefore, even if a small amount of stool is lodged in the intestines, it does not necessarily have a negative impact on human health.
In conclusion, there is no such thing as 6 kg of stool in the human body, a number that has been widely disseminated, and although some people may experience intestinal retention, this does not mean that they have a large amount of stool in their body.
