90% sounds about right. We’re two legged supports for our bacteria. Without us it would take them ages to go places. That’s why we shit at least once a day. Toilets are our bacteria’s malediction.

shalafi@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoPlenty of anaerobic bacteria topside! Go take a dump. That smell is mostly their waste products.
Fun fact: Poop is mostly bacteria. Had a gut surgeon tell me it was 90%.

i find that hard to believe, i could see a significant portion like 30%, but surely a lot of it is also cells from the body being flushed out, and just straight up the part of our food that didn’t get absorbed? Like the whole reason we need fibre is so it goes through the digestive system and makes the poo have a good consistency…
