  1. People's ability to absorb nutrients from foods varies tremendously. In fact the same person eating the same food also varies tremendously depending on their age, what else they have eaten, what they have been eating, the time of day they eat, and so many variables that it is complex beyond the ability of anyone to quantify in any accurate manner. This being the case, and it is, one of the more significant factors is the make-up of an individuals microbiome. The microbiome varies so much depending upon another host of factors that scientists are continuously amazed by the degree of variation among people, peoples, and within an individual. For instance a person who is on a carnivore diet will be amazingly deficient in the ability to absorb nutrients from vegetables in comparison to someone who is omnivorous and even more in comparison to someone who has been vegetarian for years. It is tempting to make simplistic assumptions and they almost always end up being incorrect or at least seriously skewed regarding reality. But hey, that apparently is what YouTube and social media in general is all about.
