can someone answer this, about food absorption?

[LeeJunFan]

I am just curious to see roughly how long it takes for our bodys (on average) to absorb certain foods/drink.

1. A 1/2 pint of pure orange juice

2. A piece of toast (granary bread)

3. An average bowl of cereal (cheerio's with skimmed milk)

4. A king size Snickers chocolate bar

5. A BigMac and large fries from McDonalds

Keep in mind that the foods are chewed as normal, I know certain things can affect the absorption rate like metabolism and how much you chew your food but I would just like a rough idea, thanx!!!

no-one knows, huh?

I have no ideas of the time of absorption, but there are some guidelines, sugar is simpler than fructose, so the absorption of the snickers bar would be faster than fruit juice, and whole grain breads arent processed as much meaning the cell walls are much more intact than say white bread where the cell walls slowing absorption are nearly non existent so grain bread would be slower than I think the bun and the starchy french fries, the only wrinkle is that fat slows the absorption of carbs so I wouldnt know the difference in absorption without looking at a glycemic index chart that diabetics use so that might be your next step in your hunt for the answer to your question. And what about the cheerios and skimmed mild, there you have a processed food (cheerios) with skimmed milk (less fat so faster absorption than say whole milk) but lactose is a more complex sugar than the sucrose in the snickers bar so the absorption rate is lower. And of course it would matter the ratio of the cheerios to the skimmed milk as to the absorption rate LOL. I would just rely on a glycemic index list of popular foods which should be googled pretty easily. Funny how complex it can be to a simple question.

I really don't know IF this can be answered.

Food absorptio ncan be dependent on so many things 0 which you alluded to. But seriously, there are too many factors.

Metabolism
Gender
Age
Weight
Muscle/Fat amounts
Activity Level
Medical Issues
General Health
Stress
Sleep Deprived/Well-Rested
Medications Taking
Liquid / Hydration Levels
etc etc etc

It is going to vary too broadly, IMO, to be able to give even a general time.

What's the point anyway? All those are shitty foods that no one should be eating....
