My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

    FWIW between once every three days up to three times a day is considered medically normal. If you’re consistently outside of this without obvious reason you should look into your digestive health.
