"Two-thirds of humanity
use the squatting position
to answer the call of nature.

In those cultures, appendicitis,
diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, colitis,
prostate disorders and colon cancer
are virtually unknown ."

Nice spam.

However, I might mention that causality and correlation are NOT
synonyms.

Are you *really* suggesting that squatting instead of sitting while
pooping, or birthing in a non-squatting position causes colon cancer?
If so, you are really underestimating your audience.

The aformentioned cultures eat diets high in fruits, vegetables, and
fiber. But they also have their own fair share of health problems.
Infections, intestinal parasites, etc.

And there are cultures today who sit instead of squat, and that also
eat a healthy diet, and don't get those diseases.

You might want to read _The China Study_ with regard to nutrition.

It is also true that here in the US, when we were a much more agrarian
culture, those diseases weren't nearly as common as they are today,
with our low-fiber, processed food diet. And outhouses, where people
sat down, were awfully common!
