Haven't you all kind of wondered what goes on inside your body after you eat a meal and wish you could see it? Call me weird, but I do all the time! 

Well, thanks to Stefani Bardin, a fellow with TEDxManhattan, and gastroenterologist Dr. Braden Kuo at Harvard University we can get a glimpse at an inside look. The two conducted a clinical study using two different types of pill cameras that record inside the digestive tract. 

Bardin fed two subjects similar but fundamentally different meals. The first subject received gatorade, instant ramen, and gummi bears; the second subject ate handmade noodles (made of water, salt, and eggs and flour from the farmer's market), hibiscus tea, and pomegranate-cherry juice gummies. The digestion of these meals was recorded with the pill cams, demonstrating how differently the human body handles these foods during the breakdown process.

Take a look...

As you can see a healthy digestive system is highly dependant on the types of foods you put in your mouth. It's not just about calories anymore!
