Given how nutrients are digested and absorbed, why is it IMPOSSIBLE for partially digested fats, proteins and carbohydrates to clog up your arteries?
Answer :)
Partially digested macronutrients cannot absorb through the gut because there is no method to absorb these in the small intestine. Properly digested carbohydrate absorbs directly into the blood via symport. Total digested fat also absorbs via the chylomicron method. Protein molecules are absorbed in the form of amino acids, tripeptides, or dipeptides. Partially digested macronutrients elude out via rectum. Therefore, it is impossible for partially digested macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) to accumulate in the blood.
