DESCRIPTION: The average number of bowel movements a week is compared between those eating prunes, those taking a fiber supplement, and those eating a strictly plant-based diet. Who can forget the Bristol stool scale? Even if you've already seen it you may want a refresher: Bristol Stool Scale (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/brist.... And while we're on the topic, here are some others on optimizing bowel function:

· Relieving Yourself of Excess Estrogen (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/relie...)
· Stool Size Matters (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/stool...)
· Food Mass Transit (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-...)
· Bowels of the Earth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bowel...)

And if you're worried dried fruit may be too calorically dense, the next video Do Fruit & Nut Bars Cause Weight Gain? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-fr...) should help put your mind at ease.
