First your teeth break it down into a slurry, and then that slurry is sent into your stomach where it is chemically and physically broken down even further. Then it passes through your small intestines where most of the nutrient is absorbed, but not all of it because there is a lot that we cannot process. So our gut is filled with micro organisms that take advantage of this and break down the food even further. And in doing so they produce a lot of by-products that are toxic to us.
