Answers:
First and foremost, there is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers!.

Your feces (poo) and urine (pee) obtain their color from a lot of different factors!. Feces color comes from the break down of the organic material you eat!. When your body metabilises iron in the food you eat and combines it with bilirubin, your feces turns brown!. Bilirubin is a biproduct of Heme catabolism in your system!. Any increase or decrease in iron levels or bilirubin production will change the color of feces!.

Urine color ranges from near clear to amber in color, depending on your level of hydration!. If you are low on fluid, your urine will be dark and the opposite happens if you have too much fluid in your system!. They amount of yellow is determined by the amount of Urobilins in your urine!. Urobilins are byproducts of bilirubin breakdown!. Bilirubin is also byproduct of heme catabolism!. Heme comes from worn out red blood cells!.

Digestion of excess blood, as from a stomach ulcer, will cause feces to be black and tarry!. Eating an excessive amount of iron can make the stool lighter in color and also constipate you!. Eating an excessive amount of foods dark in color, like Oreo cookies will turn your feces black, too!. Eating an excessive amount of black licorce will turn you feces dark green!.

This is probably more than you wanted to know, but I hope it answers your question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

god what a horrible question!. must I now think about the biological processes that occur within our bodies that make our poo brown and our pee yellow !?

Drink enough water, exercise plenty, stick to a healthy diet and you aid the detoxing process because you flush out a lot of toxins in the body through sweating during exercise and eating healthy food!.


but if u must vote for best answer, vote for the dude above me - i think he nailed it and his answer sounds more or less correct!.

Poo is the colour that it is because its the 'waste' thats emitted from our bodies, the stuff thats 'no good' to us, has zero nutritional value!. Digestion works this way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

wee is not meant to be yellow, its meant to be seethrough, it depends how much water you drink, if you drink alot it will be seethrough if your drink too little it will be yellow/orange!.
