“Call it a more unpleasant version of staring at the tea leaves. Researchers are suggesting a way to tell if a person is ill by changing their poop to different colors. Swill down a yoghurt-style drink which interacts with the food in your stomach and your excrement turns a variety of hues depending on how sick you are. The scientists have so far only suggested it could detect the progress of e.coli – but they hope one day it could diagnose far more conditions… The process has been developed by British designers Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and James King.” w/ photos
