When we drink more fluids than we need, the body simply excretes it, but extra food is stored. Why isn’t the excess passed like fluids?
In: Biology
The food isn’t stored, the calories are. Water doesn’t have calories, so there is nothing to store and passes through. If you ate something without calories, like a rock, it would also go right through you. If you drank a bunch of juice or other fluids with calories however, you would store those calories and potentially gain weight.
