Dr. Stool's Pee/Poo School on FOX Business

On Friday, co-author Dr. Anish Sneth (our own Dr. Stool) appeared on FOX Business with Dr. Manny Alvarez to discuss the fascinating subjects of Pee/Poo/Farts. Find out the 411 on Asparagus' affect on the smell of your pee, pee clarity, and how sorbitol can affect your poo. Listen to how "Morning Thunder" cuts-up the crew. A possible confessional laugh?
Watch: Tales From the Toilet

New Haven Register Interested in Poo, Pee and Farts

Dr. Stool himself was interviewed for a story in the New Haven Register newspaper. Read all about it.

Newsweek published an interesting tidbit from Andrew Romano about the environmental impact of toilet paper.
Some facts from the article:

• The average American uses 57 sheets of toilet paper a day
• Collectively, we burn through 36.5 billion rolls each year. 
• Tossing all the TP in America would save 15 million trees, 17.3 terawatts of electricity, and more than 473 billion gallons of water annually

In light of that, the author states that, "the environmental impact of bidets is minimal in comparison."

Virgin TP = Driving a Hummer

In a recent Time magazine article, Allen Hershkowitz, from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) said, "Using toilet paper made from virgin trees is the paper-industry equivalent of driving a Hummer."
The NRDC and Greenpeace advocate switching from standard toilet paper to recycled paper. According to the article:

...the NRDC estimates that if every household in the U.S. replaced just one 500-sheet roll of virgin-fiber TP a year with a roll made from 100% recycled paper, nearly 425,000 trees would be saved annually.

That's a lot of trees. Upon reflection, it does seem a little silly that American's choose to use only the best paper on which to wipe their poo. After all, it is just ending up in the sewer. Besides, I dislike all the lint that all of those fancy brands seem to give off.

Why not try a bidet as many European countries do?
