Gut

the Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ
Feb 23, 2017Irene99 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
Excellent book that explains a great deal of current research so it is isn't hidden away in university libraries. So many things that were new to me as well as practical. Olive oil is supposed to be stored in the fridge to avoid it oxidizing (being damaged by AIR!), but try that and it will congeal; I switched to butter for cooking, as olive oil is also said to be damaged by heat. I enjoyed the whimsical writing style and amusing drawings, personifying body parts, bacteria, etc. (some hard-working, some lazy...) I found the last section on healthy gut bacteria a bit endless, but took away the message that more of them, in more variety, is very good.
