Jen Gunter (9 January 2018). "Don't listen to Gwyneth Paltrow: keep your coffee well away from your rectum". The Guardian. Retrieved 9 January 2018. Dr Junger says this cleanse residue is a "mucoid plaque", basically some kind of adherent, cleanse-induced super-glue that needs a colonic for removal. He supports this assertion not with published research, but by telling Goop's readers to "Google mucoid plaque". No really. That is what he said. Google it. So I did. This is what came up first: [link to Wikipedia article]

Edits To Article Wording

As I was reading the article I noticed a few sentences that were repetitive. I thought one could be deleted in order to keep the topic in one area of the article. In the first paragraph there is a sentence explaining how Richard Anderson is involved in the creation of the idea of mucoid plaque. The same information and almost identical sentence is used later in the article in the history section. The first sentence could be deleted and any extra information could be included in the history section if the need for expansion on the topic is there.
