British scientists build a model gut (AP)

The artificial gut designed in Norwich's Institute of Food Research is seen during a presentation in Norwich England Friday Oct. 20 2006. British scientists have built what they say is the world's first artificial gut: a shiny high-tech box that physically simulates human digestion. Constructed from sophisticated plastics and metals able to withstand the corrosive acids and enzymes found in the human stomach the device may ultimately help in the development of super-nutrients such as obesity-fighting foods that could fool the stomach into thinking it is full.
