The latter argument is false.

If someone is hypoglycemic, a bit of sugar can bring them out of it almost instantly. Whey on an empty stomach will drain almost directly into the duodenum & start absorbing right away.

As for different pathways, fat droplets, free & peptide bonded aminos, sugars & water all soak through the gut lining into blood vessels that pretty much all go to the liver, so no - the physical routes are the same. Different enzymes work on different nutrients in the gut, and different metabolic pathways are used to make use of the nutrients once they are in the body, but they don't go via distinct pathways into the blood.
