WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN POOP AND GUT HEALTH?

  • Approximately 80% of your immune system is in your gut, where it is in close contact with the gut microbiome
  • The composition of the gut microbiome has been implicated in cancer risk
  • The composition of your gut microbiome is heavily influenced by the diet, meaning our food choices have the opportunity to act as medicine
  • Interventions that can repair balance to the gut microbiome could improve individual health outcomes

WHY DONATE YOUR POOP?

  • Because you want to help cancer research
  • Because you're interested in health & nutrition
  • Because we make it easy
  • Because you would flush it down anyway
  • Because you will receive $100 in debit card rewards and a T-shirt.
  • All the above!
