Urine gets its name from urea, a hydrous ammonia compund. Also mixed in with urea, just to add some flavor, there are ketones, broken down bits of whatever indigestible liquid content you may have eaten or drunk, including but not limited to, alcohol, sugars, ionic salts and, if memory serves, dead white blood cells. It's not something I'd want to actually swallow personally. Taking it orally I could see, but not actively drinking it.

Feces is another story altogether. The health risks of feces are numerous. Many parasitic infections are passed through feces, as well as about five thousand strains of bacteria. The most malevolant of which is e coli, which does occur naturally in the human digestive tract, but below the stomach. It is when e coli is introduced into the stomach that you have all kinds of problems, like FindingFantasy was saying.

I would definitely not recommend ingesting feces or even putting it into your mouth. It's just not worth the risks.

After further research into this matter, I have decided to make a full retraction to my statements involving the drinking of urine. From everything I can find, it seems to me that the practice is quite safe and may have beneficial effects.

Please consider the following:

It seems that my high school and college biology classes might have been wrong on this issue. Or perhaps in the last ten years, the available information and research has offered new opinions and studies on the sunject. I don't know.

What I do know is that I was apparently wrong. This activity appears to be relatively safe.
