unmasking benefits of squatting vs. sitting




Modern biomedical researchers have not bothered to spend funding and the complications of a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial (RCT) on the vast potential benefits of squatting vs. sitting as we empty our bowels.  The methodology would be difficult to blind, and to find a placebo would be comical.
Anything that would be proven, like most non-drug interventions, would be easily questioned for the true conclusion of the study. In fact, RCTs bias all science toward drugs that can be masked, not lifestyle interventions. But without an RCT, how is any medical conclusion credible or reputable? Without NIH funding, does anyone who is trained in Science believe the research?
