Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Food is stored in your stomach for only a couple of hours.

Statistics:

50% of stomach contents emptied = 2.5 to 3 hours

Total emptying of the stomach = 4 to 5 hours

50% emptying of the small intestine = 2.5 to 3 hours

Transit through the colon = 30 to 40 hours
