It"s not just about a full stomach, nutrition is important too. Water-soluble vitamins are able to be excreted through urine if there is excess: thiamin, ribo avin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin b-6, folate, vitamin b-12, choline, vitamin c. Fat-soluble vitamins requires you to eat it with fat to dissolve them: vitamin a, vitamin d, vitamin e, vitamin k, possible to overdose on these because they aren"t excreted through urine. Mal-absorption de ciencies make it easier to be malnourished: as people age, vitamins are not as well metabolized and absorbed, people with certain genetic issues are not able to absorb certain nutrients as well. Enrichment of grains and cereals: joseph goldberger = made a connection between poverty and nutritional disease, w. henry sebrell = goldberger"s assistant.
