If our stomach acids are some of the strongest acids, how do stomach bugs and tapeworms and germs not get digested in it? How is it that only things like insulin get digested?
In: Biology
Just as an aside OP, insulin isn’t digested. It has been super hard for them to make a non-injection form of it, and as far as I know, they had to make it an inhaler (I think). You have to inject it into fatty tissue and that lets you absorb it slow enough to safely use. Eating it would destroy it, as far as I know.
