Young Adults Embrace 'Poop-Maxxing' as Bristol Stool Chart Trends on Social Media

A 30-year-old medical tool known as the Bristol Stool Chart has become a viral wellness trend among young people, who use it to track gut health and achieve 'poop positivity.'

This trend coincides with broader concerns about rising colorectal cancer rates in younger adults and a cultural shift toward monitoring digestive health through social media platforms like #pooptok.
