A Wonderleaf question
Where does poop come from?
a real page from the book
Poop comes from food after your body has taken what it can use. Your mouth, stomach, and intestines break a meal down, pull useful nutrients into your blood, and move the leftovers along until they become stool ready to leave your body.
One detail kids often love: poop is not just old food. It also contains water, gut bacteria, and cells your body has shed, while its brown color comes from your body recycling parts of old blood. It is ordinary cleanup, done every day.
