âOne Manâs Food is Anotherâs Poisonâ Dr Mercola. The process of digestion is so much more than what we may first think. Great digestion means that even toxic substances can be made harmless, while poor digestion means that even beneficial foods can become poison and promote disease.
Physical digestion is the physical breakdown of food, using your teeth, called mastication. Chemical digestion uses different fluids and chemicals in your body to break down the food further, such as pepsin and hydrochloric acid. At the small intestine, the food turns into chyme, which is semi-digested food, but not quiet yet waste products.
