The small intestine or small bowel is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine, and is where much of the digestion and absorption of food takes place. The small intestine has three distinct regions â the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.It receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct, controlled by the sphincter of Oddi.

But, the root cause of much of that is simply intellectual laziness. I define intellectual laziness as the refusal of people to explore the facts about opinions they hold.

Laziness: n. using a minimum amount of energy on many actions causing delay and/or slowly doing a delegated action(s) which frequently requires more speed and more energy There is basically physical and mental laziness and it is mostly society which promotes both forms of laziness culturally and if you are a victim then you are only partially to blame for it. Physical laziness conserves body energy and is a very efficient way of surviving which the body frequently prefers. Only about 3% of the adult population exercises regularly unless you consider physical labor on the job exercise which will increase that percentage somewhat.
