Bad Science

She probably got that idea from the Germans. I remember when I first went to Germany in the early 90s all their toilets had a kind of ledge where your turds fell before you flushed them away. I was told this was so you could examine them for problems.

Gilliam Mackeith, who was mentioned earlier; she claims she can analyse people’s health by sniffing their turds.

OK, I’ve named extremes to illustrate my point, but they could apply quite well to lots of people. I guess the fast food diet could be universally unhealthy, but if people exercise a lot or go out in the cold, they might have different dietary requirements.

Yes, I suppose eating a pound of lard is not bad if you are burning loads of calories crossing the freezing wastes of the Arctic.

But if you are slouched on the sofa watching Big Brother, your body does other things with it.

BTW Is that what her PhD is in - turd-sniffing?

A polar explorer will eat lots of fat as it’s really the only way he can carry enough food to fuel his body.

If only Craig was still here to give us some expert advice

We have those in NL too. One real advantage is the reduction of the turd induced splash that would otherwise foul one's bottom.

She doesn’t have a PhD; she bought some diploma in ‘herbal medicine’.

Ah perhaps the explanation the Germans gave me was an example of their sense of humour.

Perhaps we donated them as a job lot as part of the Marshall Plan.

I'd always wondered why they had them like that. I did a couple of months contract a few years ago there.

I think if you visit some boutiques in Hamburg you’ll find German loos with much more unusual optional extras.

No, that's not true.

She has a PhD from the non-accredited Clayton College of Natural Health.

She also has certified membership of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, as does Ben Goldacre's dead cat.
