Hi; this is a little too mechanistic to account for the body's ability to break down and recombine not only proteins sugars and fats but also mineral constituents of what we ingest. Nevertheless, it's been stated here in the past that 80 - 90% of CS is excreted through the bowel; I don't know if this is really true or not, but there are a few confusion factors to muddy the issue for ya.<g>
