Coffee has a laxative effect on about one-third of the population, but caffeine isn’t to blame. Scientists aren’t entirely sure what’s at work, but they know that coffee stimulates the large intestine within four minutes of drinking it. They suspect it has to do with a compound in coffee that leads to a spike in stomach acid production. This, in turn, helps transport food at a faster rate through the digestive tract—and ultimately into your toilet. #coffee #funfact
