I squat over modern toilets, it is still possible to relax over these toilets and I don't want to poop into a hole in the floor. The problems people have are not simply the position of their toilets as that is more a symptom.

Yeah, I do agree that it is more of the symptom. Even though there are studies, but it is not conclusive yet due to limited studies.
Squatting can help, general speaking, I don't disagree with how it's better for most people most of the time, basically.
However, it can depend on the individual, it can depend on the development of the muscles. For example, basketball players develop different muscle structure than baseball players or football players.
It can also depend on differences between males and females and differences between white people, yellow people, black people, as different races can have different body types where their muscles function differently.
It depends on how the muscles develop, how they work, the pressure and stress that is put on them, how healthy a person is.
Squatting is a better technique as you have mentioned for most people it would seem. My only argument is that exceptions to this general rule exists but must be developed and trained. A person would have to be a butt athlete in training his or her body to handle American toilets or European toilets or whatever we want to call the sitting down not squatting toilets.
Squatting can be hard to do for older people. So, I don't know what would be worse, for old or sick people to squat or to not squat. Also, the healthier a person is, the easier it can be for the person to go to the bathroom. Also, you want to poop more often and not less often. The less you poop, the more likely your digestion is being too slow which means there are probably some problems happening inside there.

This is an interesting read. I agree with your arguments. Squatting is not suitable for elderly or those with disabilities. It goes down with genetics whether we poop by sitting or squatting. Everyone are build differently and its heath conditions, and the studies presented may not be conclusive to what race it may applied. !PIZZA
