After using google I’ve run into people who think that it passes through urine/feces and many who say it’s “burned up” and released as heat. These people are definitely not experts so I thought I’d turn to you guys.

I always had the theory that you breath it out as CO2. I remember my undergrad biochemistry of fatty acid oxidation and the whole krebs cycle diagram where a lot of the metabolism steps released CO2.

Such a broad question but just looking for insight. Thanks[/quote]
