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.

I was wondering about the female opinion too…. or are we not to talk about such things. Come on CSIRO, you can do better
