Best Answer

A pig's digestive system does not filter out toxins, like most animals. The toxins work through the pig and deposit into their flesh and fat, never filtering out.

Why do you give amphogel instead of maalox to renal patients?

I just found this out because my dog is in renal failure. Amphogel (aluminum hydroxide) is a "phosphorus binding agent" which is needed to excrete phosphorus due to the failing kidney's ability to process and excrete toxins. Build up of toxins in the system takes place when the kidneys are damaged and or failing and they're unable to process these toxins and excrete from the body in the urine. Hope this helps

What is a bacterial disease cause by contaminated food?

The bacteria's waste products are toxic to humans. They eat the food, excrete toxins, and when you eat the toxins you get sick. This is especially true for anaerobic bacteria. It is also possible for the bacteria themselves to infect your body, but it's still pretty much the same process. The bacteria eat bits of you, excrete toxins, and you get sick. That's VERY basic, of course, but the long answer is quite long & that's the gist of it.
