For fans of Gut by Giulia Enders Eating is the most pleasurable,
gross, necessary, unspeakable biological process we undertake. But
very few of us realise what strange wet miracles of science operate
inside us after every meal - let alone have pondered the results
(of the research). How have physicists made crisps crispier? What
do laundry detergent and saliva have in common? Was self-styled
'nutritional economist' Horace Fletcher right to persuade millions
of people that chewing a bite of shallot seven hundred times would
yield double the vitamins? In her trademark, laugh-out-loud style,
Mary Roach breaks bread with spit connoisseurs, beer and pet-food
tasters, stomach slugs, potato crisp engineers, enema exorcists,
rectum-examining prison guards, competitive hot dog eaters, Elvis'
doctor, and many more as she investigates the beginning, and the
end, of our food.
