The truth about laxatives, from one who knows

Laxatives:

- Make you shit.
- Do not make you lose weight. In a day or two, the scale will be right back up where it was before you took the laxatives, or sometimes higher, because there is a good chance that you will retain extra water.
- Make you lose fluids and electrolytes. So, basically, every time you take them, you're putting yourself another step closer to hospitalization. And I presume that most of you don't want to be hospitalized involuntarily, especially for something as worthless as laxative abuse. Or do you?
- Hurt like fuck, and can pull the muscles in your rectum if you use them too much. Oh, and sometimes you may leak. Involuntarily.
- Are addictive.
- Really, really are not worth it.
