    ugh i heard that beef stays in your system for about 5 months after eating it. Not all of it, but a small fraction of it... SO glad I don't eat that crap anymore.

    P.S. Don't eat skittles .. They have GELATINE!!!!!!!! hhahah i found that out last week..i was rather disappointed in myself.

    Can you cite anything to prove that it stays in your system for 5 months. It does in the sense that the nutrients are used in you body. But I don't exactly know what you mean by that statement.

    Anyway, I still have a peace of gum floatin around in me since grade school. :)

    Yeah, Astrocat used to have something about that in her old forum, but I can't find it in the archives. I think it was "chyme" she wrote about, some sort of goo that lines the intestinal walls, if I remember correctly. Is that what you mean, Moonjava?

    Ooh, and about the skittles, someone in England said that over there, the Skittles do not contain gelatin. If it's true, I'm extremely jealous.

    I once read that it stays in your body for 2-3 days, I found the article on the web. Here is the link

    It states:

    Meat and seafood putrefies within 4 hours after consumption and the remnants cling to the walls of the stomach and intestines for 3-4 days or longer than if a person is constipated.

    Hope this helps. :)

    I think Zephyr's info seems a little more reasonable. meats are harder to digest meaning they stay in your system longer, but five months is alittle ridiculous.

    Peace

    wonder if it is referring to bad elimination? I researched colon clenses, including colonics, and many of teh testimonials reported thinkd like chunks of steaks when they'd not had steak in a year.
    As for UK Skittles not having gelatine, I doubt that as most of the peppermints do, drat it.

    If NZ skittles have gelatine it's not listed anywhere in the ingrediants (or at least it wasn't least time I checked - about 3 months ago)

    Are they allowed to put it in food and not mention it anywhere, even under a additive code?

    In the US, Skittles Mints do not have gelatin in them, but the other flavors do.

    Do you know how many pounds of excess excrement were removed from John Wayne's colon? :p

    Kind of a sick way to put it though.

    I had a gallbladder attack 3 wks ago. One of the things on the list of "no-no's" was red meat for 3 months. So there is definately something to it. I should of asked why but due to the effects of demerol I couldn't hardly tell them my name :)

    It's only logical that they would do that. You don't chase your food anymore. Most people don't even have to get out of their car. Why bother... it's bad for you and it's bad for the cow.

    putting beef in my body in teh first place seems rather gross. putting dead, rotting flesh (no matter how slowly it seems to be rotting) into one's body seems kind of gross. i prefer not being a walking gravyard.
