Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the stomach absorbs nutrients directly into the bloodstream?

Partly. Several reference sources indicate that nutrient absorption occurs mainly in the small intestine rather than the stomach, while one pharmaceutical source notes that tablets dissolve in the stomach allowing drug to enter the bloodstream. The evidence partially addresses the claim but does not fully settle whether the stomach absorbs nutrients directly.
