This guy says a lot of interesting things, and I like the sound of his voice. But, googling for stuff that really quantifies these effects isn’t turning up much. Like if 130 kcal of almond get absorbed in one part of the digestive tract, and 30kcal get absorbed farther down, it still sounds like 160kcal of almond is going into the body, and has to come out somewhere else, or it’s going to stay in there. Here’s some influencer content thats addressing that influencer content: ▶ this video
