Sinopse
In her trademark, laugh-out-loud style, Mary Roach breaks bread with spit connoisseurs and enema exorcists, stomach slugs, rectum-examining prison guards, and competitive hot dog eaters as she investigates the beginning - and the end - of our food.
An investigation how digestion works, from start to finish. The books is about the scientists who tackle the complex bodily process that fuels us and keeps us alive.

Alguns factos curiosos ouvidos.
- Os homens não se peidam mais que as mulheres. Eles só o fazem com prazer e mais alto, as mulheres só controlam as mesmas, o que faz mal.
- Há pessoas que vomitam fezes.- É quase impossível morrer de tanto comer.
- É possível transportar facilmente qualquer coisa no ânus (defecation reflex avoidance)
- A maioria dos detergentes que usamos nas limpezas são feitos com enzimas digestivas, para remover a gordura, tal como o intestino.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
