"Squat" type toilets and colon/prostate health
Just curious , there was a 'news' story the other day about a shopping center in Rochdale installing a couple of stalls with "Squat" type toilets , getting away from the cultural issues , Western v "Third World" .
Does anyone know if there has ever been a health study done by the medical folks about the rates of colon/prostate cancer between folks who using both types of W.C.
Without sounding 'crude' I've allways found it a "bit more harder to go" whenever I used older type 'higher' models than the 'lower' seat type.
Seems to me the Bowel is in a more natural 'position' squating than sitting (a more direct line of evacuation )
Its a serious question , I know that different diets can affect health , but does anyone think/have any ideas about wether such a simple thing as taking a 'dump' can effect your health .
Thanks
