What Happens Once Toxins Enter the Digestive System?
Once ingested, toxins pass through various stages of digestion, starting from the mouth, through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Each organ has specific mechanisms that can either activate or detoxify these substances. For instance, the stomach's acidic environment can sometimes neutralize certain toxins, while the liver's enzymes can metabolize others into more water-soluble forms for excretion.
