The colon is an important organ in the human body and although it may have a somewhat disgusting job, it performs an invaluable function to maintaining optimal health. The colon is responsible for absorbing valuable minerals and nutrients into the body and then getting rid of the unusable waste in the form of feces. It’s certainly not the glamour job of the body, but an important one none the less. A lot of people think that because the colon processes feces, it can become dirty, or unhealthy, they believe that waste product can build up in the colon and then make the rest of the body sick. This theory of the “toxic colon” is no scientifically valid and has no basis in reality. The colon functions fine without needing any additional cleaning.
