excreted

Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose are not metabolized by the human body so they are excreted – this is what makes them low-calorie sugar alternatives.

They found that each additional gram of sodium excreted in urine over 24 hours was associated with 11% higher odds of an eczema diagnosis; 16% higher odds of having an active case; and 11% higher odds of increased severity.

One of the study's most significant findings is that these particles can be excreted renally, presenting a breakthrough in elimination pathways associated with injectable, synthetic biomaterials.

In a final step, the researchers used a chemical process to confirm whether the excreted seeds were capable of germinating.

They also showed that about 30% of the seeds excreted by woodlice and earwigs remained viable.
