= El-azshara Paradox = The El-azshara paradox closely resembles the Sorites paradox, but focuses more closely on aspects of human physiology. Specifically, the El-azshara paradox refers to the transit of alimentary material through the gastrointestinal tract. In its original form, it applied specifically to Homo sapiens, but can be generalized to other species as well.

It states, "When food moves through the gastrointestinal tract, water is resorbed by the small and large intestines. Conceive of this action as the removal of water droplet-by-droplet. Assuming that the removal of one droplet of water does not turn food into poop, is food with one remaining droplet of water still food? If not, when did it change from food to poop?"

History
The history of the El-azshara paradox is not entirely clear, but it is based upon the Sorites paradox, which was originally posited in 4th century BCE. The application of the Sorites paradox to various situations has been proposed, but the El-azshara paradox was the first philosophical postulation regarding transit of ingested contents through the gastrointestinal tract. While multiple formulations of this paradox have existed, the final question remains, "when does food change from food to poop?"

Name
The name of this paradox is likely an allusion to the three medical scientists responsible for initially positing the question. While their names remain unknown, it is thought that parts of all three of their names likely are included in the name of the paradox. Individuals have posited that the individuals' names might include "El-az," "sha," and "ra," or "El-," "az," and "shara," although this is not known.
