• Did you know that some detergent have the same enzymes the digestive system provides to break down food. Enzymes like: amylase (carbohydrates), lipases (fats), and proteases (protein) some found in saliva, stomach, and small intestine. 
• The digestive system is primarily where more cancers are found, than any other organ in the body. 
•  Chief cell, parietal cells, and mucous cells that formed the inner wall of the stomach secrete about 2 liters of hydrocloric acid each day. Hydrochloric acid helps to kill bacteria. Powerful chemicals found in some cleaning supplies like toilet cleaners include this acid.
