Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain and yet we know very little about how it works. Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit. Along the way, the author provides practical advice such as the best ways to sit on the toilet to have a comfortable bowel movement, how clean your kitchen should be for optimum gut health, and how different laxatives work. She tells stories of gut bacteria that can lead to obesity, autoimmune diseases, or even suicide, and she discusses the benefits of dietary supplements such as probiotics. This book is a fascinating primer for anyone interested in how our ideas about the gut are changing in the light of cutting-edge scientific research. In the words of the author, â??We live in an era in which we are just beginning to understand just how complex the connections are between us, our food, our pets and the microscopic world in, on, and around us. We are gradually decoding processes that we used to believe were part of our inescapable destiny."… (més)

Great survey of the world inside with nice gross bits about poo, spit, microbes and parasites. I learned quite a few new practical ideas even though the information is a bit on the general side. Definite good read for anyone with gut related problems, even if they should not expect a medical text, more perspective and curiousity. ( )

Inquiring minds want to know. First, there was Our Bodies, Ourselves. Then there was The Joy of Sex. And now, to add to the list of books that better explain the bodies we inhabit, we have Gut. It turns out our gastrointestinal tracts are a good deal more interesting and clever than one would expect, and they play a commanding role in everything from our immune response to our state of mind and feeling of well-being. This volume will be enjoyed by a larger audience than just pre-pubescent boys who revel in bathroom humor (although it does contain more than a few good laughs). ( )

A very interesting read on the gut. Enders spends a lot of time talking about the bacteria in the gut, which I found fascinating. The sections on parts of the body involved in pre-digestion that she covered weren't quite as interesting (mouth, esophagus, etc.).

Also, the writing was mildly humorous, but I sometimes felt that the author was trying too hard. No big deal.

My biggest beef with this book is that Enders wrote about the evolution theory as if it was fact instead of theory, and yet went out of her way to emphasize that other theories, though likely true, were indeed still theories at this point in time. Why the disparity? I expect scientists to be more consistent in their work. ( )

This book by Giulia Enders is superb. For one, she has done ample justice to our most under-rated organ. Second, her writing style is cheerful and entertaining.

The book contains much serious information, and a reader must exercise caution. Do not get carried away by the book's breezy style. Read with care, and you will find yourself entertained and informed.

The graphics in the book are superb. They supplement the tone of the book. ( )

Wie erwartetet hat auch mir dieses Buch sehr gut gefallen, wenn ich mir auch fast noch mehr oder andere Informationen erwartet hätte. Aber es liest sich wirklich toll, hat einige sehr unerwartete Erkenntnisse (z.B. zum Zusammenhang von Psyche und Darm) und ist einfach interessant und unterhaltsam. Kein Wunder, dass es ein so bekanntes Wissensbuch geworden ist. ( )
