Biological Pathways
These are simply the direction (or path) that everything in the body takes. All nutrients and toxins have pathways, often more than one. For example, a vitamin would have a pathway from the stomach/intestines to several different organs and muscles. A toxin (anything that is no longer needed) would have a pathway out of the body. If these pathways aren't working fully, there will either be a deficiency of a nutrient or a build-up of a toxin.
A nutrient deficiency could show up in just one organ if that is where the pathway breaks down. Toxins that cannot be expelled are often stored in fat cells so they don't affect the rest of the body. When the body uses insulin, it needs a pathway out of the body after it brings the blood sugar levels down. Often, this breaks down, so it is stored in fat cells. This is one reason that sugar often causes obesity.
