What really happens to things you swallow, sentence 3
The truth is a long tube: what you swallow goes down to a stomach full of strong acid, on through the gut, and whatever your body cannot use comes out the other end, usually within a day or two.
Who acts: truth, you, body · What happens: be, swallow, go down, not use, come out · To what, where: long tube, gut, whatever, other end
