Five out of five experts said no

Here are their detailed responses:

I think for all practical purposes it is good to poo daily otherwise stools become hard and need to strain to pass causing rectal bleeding and haemorrhoids.

Great advice on a subject that is embarrassing to discuss amongst friends, yet that is what people need to do.
