Sitting or squatting?

Po tym jak australijski urząd podatkowy postanowił zainstalować w swoim biurze toalety kucane ( squat toilets) dla pracowników pochodzących z krajów, gdzie tylko z takich toalet się korzysta, rozgorzała dyskusja o wyższości kucania nad siedzeniem i odwrotnie. Gastrolodzy nie mają wątpliwości - kucanie jest zdrowsze.

Earlier this week the Australian Tax Office announced it had decided to install squat toilets to cater for its increasingly diverse workforce.

It installed two squat toilets in its new Melbourne office because more than one in five staff now come from a non-English speaking background.

Sitting or squatting has long been a controversial issue.

Advocates of squatting claim it allows a clearer and straighter passage for stools to pass through.

However, for many Westerners the idea of not being able to sit on the loo fills them with horror.

But what is the medical view and what is the best way to empty your bowels?
