The_simpsons Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Something that crossed my mind recently, can humans digest keratine-proteins (i.e hair and nails) like with other proteins, when they are broken down to individual amino acids?

Psycho Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well I know they can't digest keratin in hair as I remember a news story where a girl died and they found that a ball (about the size of a small american football) of hair in her stomach.
