Few of us realize what strange wet miracles of science operate inside us after every meal. In her trademark style, the author investigates the beginning, and end, of our food, addressing such questions as: why crunchy food is so appealing, why it is hard to find words for flavors and smells, why the stomach doesn't digest itself, how much we can eat before our stomachs burst, and whether constipation killed Elvis. Here we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of, or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. 650 0 $a Digestive organs $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Alimentary canal $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Gastrointestinal system $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Digestive organs. 650 1 $a Digestive organs $v Popular works. 650 2 $a Digestive System 650 6 $a Appareil digestif $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 650 6 $a Tube digestif $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 650 6 $a Tractus gastro-intestinal $v Ouvrages de vulgarisation. 650 6 $a Appareil digestif. 650 7 $a Alimentation. $2 eclas 650 7 $a SysteÌme digestif. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Anatomie. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Physiologie. $2 eclas 650 7 $a LitteÌrature. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Histoire. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Aliments. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Alimentary canal $2 fast 650 7 $a Digestive organs $2 fast 650 7 $a Gastrointestinal system $2 fast 650 7 $a Digestive system. $2 sears 650 7 $a Digestive organs. $2 sears 653 $a Book group discussion kits. 655 2 $a Popular Work 655 7 $a Popular works $2 fast 655 7 $a Popular works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online verison: $a Roach, Mary. $t Gulp. $d London : Oneworld, 2013 $z 9781780742199 $w (OCoLC)892059962 856 4 $u http://www.wwnorton.com 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231005083228.0 $n 10 $p +2LP+CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C23A6EA637F11EEA3FB3B18283FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
