Food is generally absorbed in the small intestine, which is 20 to 23 feet in an average adult male (that's 240 to 276 inches!) The large intestine is generally responsible for absorbing water, sodium and other nutrients that have not been absorbed in the small intestine. The large intestine also houses several different kinds of bacteria that break down things your body is not able to break down.
