I was told if you eat meat it has to rot in you re stomach in order to digest? Is this true? Is it bad for u?

Answer 1

Someone who doesn't like meat has told you a lot of stuff, huh?

Are you eating the meat raw? Probably not. The meat will be cooked that you're going to eat.

When you bite into a piece of meat it is already starting to be digested because your teeth & saliva are doing that. Then when you swallow, more digestive juices begin working and so on until your stomach digests it even more. Then when all of that has happened & if there are very micro tiny pieces left it is passed into the intestinal tract for further digestion. All this takes place in a 24 hr period. So there is no food in your system to rot.

Answer 2

It's not true. The meat digest with the use of the acids that are in your stomach

Answer 3

I think there are way to many acids and enzymes in your stomach for meat to rot...it doesn't stay in your digestive track long enough to rot.

Answer 4

Meat, like everything else you consume, goes through the digestion process and leaves your body within a day or so.

Answer 5

You have digestive acids that break down all foods. It doesn't rot in your stomach. The latest fad is "cleansing" which may be where you heard this. In a year or so they'll be a new cure-for-everything scam and this one will have faded away.

Answer 6

If meat is rotting in your stomach then something is wrong with your stomach. Wouldn't this mean that veggies and fruit rot also?

Answer 7

Sounds like a fascist vegetarian plot.

Answer 8

I don't know if it's true or not but I heard the same thing on Oprah!

Answer 9

Sounds like a vegetarian made that up.

Answer 10

oh never heard that one before
