Consider this: the number one ER complaint in America is abdominal pain. Guess which sex accounts for better than 75% of ER visits for abdominal pain? Yep, females, most under 35. Guess what the most common cause of abdominal pain in ER's is? Constipation. Our health care system is spending billions of dollars annually to address the fact that most women have lousy dietary and bowel habits, and don't have a clue about how to deal with their own schitt.
I read an article just this last week about a girl in England who died of not having bowel movements. Obviously she had a mental condition but she thought BM's would injure her so she quit going. After 8 weeks of retaining it, her abdomen became distended (no kidding!) and it killed her. They did an autopsy to find out what the problem was. I can't imagine being the pathologist on that one.
