Poopgroup: Hold the almonds!

I began an almond love affair when I was taking calculus during my senior year of high school, after my mom read in Ladies Home Journal that they make you smarter. When my calculus scores were faltering, I started eating them every day and, lo and behold, the scores improved. And up until a few weeks ago, I've been eating them semi-religiously.

I didn't deliberately remove almonds from my diet (it was basically that I got lazy and cheap), but since I stopped eating them every day, one thing has become resoundingly clear: the quality and quantity of my poop has improved a hundredfold. Suddenly it happens multiple times a day! And they are lucky days* at that! Has anyone else shared this experience?

Almonds have some great benefits otherwise, and it really is a shame to put stools over smarts. But I guess that's how the cookie crumbles.

*A "lucky day" is when you wipe once and realize that you never needed to in the first place.
