Food Transit Times

I learned a lot of interesting things at my recent visit to the Bodies Exhibition. One of them included learning the time it takes for food to travel through the digestive tract.
Food transit time through the digestive tract:
- esophagus - 4 to 8 seconds
- stomach - 2 to 4 hours
- small intestine - 3 to 5 hours
- colon (large intestine) - 10 hours to several days
Of course, the information was made all the more fascinating when you see the human digestive tract up close and personal!
