Y las desviaciones pueden ser motivo de preocupación.“El color más común es el marrón, o tonos de marrón”, afirma el Dr. Mark Corkins, jefe de la división de gastroenterología pediátrica del Centro de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Tennessee.El marrón se debe a la descomposición de la bilirrubina, un pigmento que se forma cuando los glóbulos sanguíneos viejos se descomponen en el hígado, y de la bilis, que suele ser de color marrón oscuro o verde y que el hígado produce para facilitar la digestión de las grasas, según la Oficina para la Ciencia y la Sociedad de la Universidad McGill. Cuando la bilirrubina y la bilis se segregan en el intestino delgado durante la digestión, las heces adquieren un color marrón.Defecar cada 3 días o más está relacionado con el deterioro cognitivo...
