RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 September 8, 2007 Since I don't have a direct line to Dr. Oz, I thought I would pose this question to KBordson: Why is it that when you eat corn, and you KNOW you chewed it well before swallowing it, that it ends up as whole kernels in your poo? Inquiring minds want to know. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shermanator 4 #4 September 8, 2007 the outer skin stays in tact the entire time of chewing. but the stuff on the inside comes out, and your stomach acids don't disolve the skin, so it appears to be full kernals of corn in your poop. I just made that up.. am i anything close to correct?CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #6 September 8, 2007 LOL!!!!!! It has to do with our ability (or inability) to digest cellulouse. We might be able to chew it up... but we can't really break it down. We are missing the proper enzyemes.... but... Remember, Dammit Jim, I'm an ob/gyn not a gastroenterologist. (I was GREATLY amused by that question.) edit to add clicky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
