Why is excreta yellow colored ?? do we have a color/bleach factory inside to turn all food yellow ??

I always wondered why everything we eat turns yellow when we Sh!t. Does anybody have an answer for this ?? plz help me get this tickler off my cranium kit !!
Answer:
The average bowel movement is three parts water to one part solid matter. Bacteria make up 30 percent of the solid stuff. The same goes for indigestible foods like cellulose and extra fiber. The remaining 40 percent contains various inorganic wastes, fats and used-up body substances like red blood cells, which are released from the liver in an orange-brown compound called bilirubin. Bilirubin mixes with another liver product, yellowish bile, to give poo its distinctive hue.
wait... your poop is yellow? thats not good. it should be brown. go see a doctor.
This is due to white blood cells decaying after fighting bacteria, in the case of wounds and pusstules. Urine also contains large doses of amonia removed from the system.if your solid is yellow you are probably deficient
Urobilinogen coming from bilirubin gives the color of stool.
our poop is not always yellow. Sometimes it depends on the food we eat.
Colour of the feces is imparted by stercobilin, a pigment produced and modified in the liver and intestine.
Bilirubin is produced in the liver from the degradation of Haemoglobin. This bilirubin undergoes modification, transport and is finally converted to stercobilin. It basically helps in the digestion of fats.
Part of this bilirubin is also excreted in the urine as urobilin.
None of the food that you eat is as such turned into yellow stuff.
And I too would add that the feces are brown.
Due to bilirubin excrete from liver.
Bile give brown/ yellow colour to the stool
bilirubin and its by products make it yellow.
in obstructive jaundice when the bile duct is blocked the patient has characterestic putty stools where putty is meant the cement mix.
