I’m not convinced that the recent popularity of Colon Cleanseproducts is enough to get me to try any of them.  I was watching an infomercial about them today, where they were talking about how people can lose a lot of weight by using these products, saying that the process cleanses several pounds of old toxic fecal matter out of the colon.  I’m really not convinced that this is a good idea – I think that the body does a pretty good job of taking care of itself.

I’m not a big fan of spending a lot of time sitting on the porcelain throne, so any product that is going to make me spend even more time there is going to be viewed with a lot of skepticism on my part.  My sister, on the other hand, thinks that colon cleansing is a great idea.  She seems to be obsessed with how often she eliminates, and how often her children eliminate.  I’m not sure it’s a good idea to be that obsessed with it – I think that if you go a few times a week and you’re not in pain, it should not be anything to worry about unless and until the doctor says that there is something to be concerned about.
