What did human anatomy mean by this? Why does our body let this happen?

Happens if you don't eat enough fiber

Had my terminal ileum + bit of my cecum removed (and hence my appendix). I'm immune

>We found, through analyses of data on 258 mammalian species, that cecal appendix presence is correlated with increased maximal observed longevity
>A study dedicated to the exploration of diarrhea among 18 colonies of nonhuman primates reported a particularly high annual incidence of diarrhea of 10.6% with a global annual mortality related to an episode of diarrhea of 1.2%
>Its shape and its secreted biofilm (Bollinger et al., 2007) make the cecal appendix a bacterial sanctuary that facilitates the colonic recolonization by the nonpathogen and symbiotic gut microbiota.
>To sum up, the greater longevity in taxa possessing a cecal appendix may result from decrease in extrinsic mortality

>The average daily dietary fiber intake was 17.4 g in the group with appendicitis and 21.0 g in the control group. The difference is statistically significant.
