Malabsorption rates?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm a bit confused. I have been hearing conflicting information

regarding the levels of malabsorption for fats, carbs, protein. Some

say that we absorb 100% of carbs, others say 50% of complex carbs but

100% of simple carbs. I have heard that we absorb from 20% up to 80% of

fats, and anywhere from 20% to 70% of proteins. What have the rest of

you been told by your Drs. and/or nutritionists? Thanks for the input.

Here we go.............

We absorb 35% of fats, 80% of protein, 60-80% complex carbs, and

100% of simple sugars. Can be a few percent different for each

individual.
