[인체의 신비 2화] 맛을 느낀다는 착각 - 소화란 무엇인가 (서울대병원 이승훈 교수)

💡 Summary This video is an interview with Professor Seung-Hoon Lee of Seoul National University College of Medicine on the topic of "What is Digestion?" Humans have been taking drugs through food and treating themselves, and for this, the process of breaking down food into 'low-molecular' substances that can be absorbed by our bodies, that is, 'digestion', is key. Since high-molecular substances such as proteins and carbohydrates cannot be directly absorbed, they must be broken down into low-molecular substances so that they can be tasted and absorbed. We taste because of these low-molecular substances, such as glucose for sweetness, glutamic acid for savory taste, and fatty acids for savory taste. Seasonings are ultimately concentrated low-molecular substances, and cooking is the process of tricking the human brain into feeling high-molecular foods as delicious low-molecular substances. In the end, digestion and taste are also connected to the essence of drug absorption and efficacy, and this is where the philosophy of drug design begins. 📌 5 Key Topics High molecular weight foods are tasteless and not absorbed if they are not digested Low molecular weight substances cause taste and are the core of seasonings and drugs The taste of food is an evolutionary result to meet physiological needs Cooking adds low molecular weight ingredients to high molecular weight foods to induce the illusion of ‘tasty’ The concept of digestion is the basis of drug design and absorption principles 👉 Understanding Inquiry: [email protected] 👉 "Understanding Text" read in words. https://contents.premium.naver.com/ba... 👉 Understanding Membership Signup    / @understanding.
