Tapeworms and germs developed coatings and protection to get past the stomach acid. The acid is neutralized after and in the intestines is where the bugs and germs go to work destroying you. The stomach the a little larger that your fist, its the intestines that most people think of as your guts.

Also, insulin isn’t digested, it’s injected.
