I have had perhaps 30 colonoscopies over the course of my adult life, about half of which were video camera documented. I had familial polyposis (lots of benign polyps) and have actually watched numerous biopsies collected from my intestinal walls & cauteries of smaller, early-stage polyps. In no case was there ever any evidence of anything but shiny, pink, glass-like surfaces inside. They actually expand the sections with air as they move along so they can get clear camera shots & even with that, it remained perfectly smooth, clean & pink. Not saying everyone is like me, but I eat as much or more red meat than the next guy & tend to overdo it on the diet (currently about 60 pounds overweight). Who knows...in my life, the evidence says that not eating after 8 pm the night before the procedure and taking a bottle of magnesium citrate is enough to create the shiny colon effect...
Your mileage may vary?

I've been wondering lately whether I missed a discussion about this interesting observation. Wondering what people think about it, given all the products and cleansing regimes based on the idea that everyone has this sort of gunk and needs to get rid of it.
