A member asked:
Hello, is this hypothesis correct? it is said that drinking milk causes the formation of a fatty layer in the human esophagus, which causes poor absorption of minerals. please explain it in detail because i didn't find any research about it?

Probably the reason you "can't find any research about it" is that it's wrong. No such thing happens. Anyway, no minerals or nutrients of any kind are significantly absorbed in the esophagus. All absorption occurs to a limited extent in the stomach and primarily in the small intestine.
