Most digestion occurs in the small intestine, specifically the duodenum and jejunum. Enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. Nutrients are then absorbed through the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream.

That is not true. The majority of digestion takes place in the small intestine. By the time the material has entered the large intestine or colon, the majority of digestion has taken place.
