What strange experiment did William Beaumont do with food in 1833?
William Beaumont knew a man named Alexis St. Martin that had a hole in his stomach from a gunshot wound that never fully healed. Since the wound never healed you could see the inside of the stomach. So William Beaumont watched the food being digested. And then had a better understanding of how digestion works.HE WAS NOT THE GUY THAT SWALLOWED THE STRING!~
