The anatomist Freidrich Tiedemann [ 1781 - 1861 ] & chemist Leopold Gmelin [ 1788 - 1853 ] joined forces at Heidelberg University to study the process of digestion with each contributing much, in their respective fields, to further the understanding of the digestion of food to the limits of science in the early 19th century. They made several important discoveries & proved much - such as the fact digestion is not solely conducted in the stomach, discovered glucose in the blood converted from starch & other foodstuffs by proteins, discovered taurine, etc etc. Garrison Morton 988 . 975 grams.
