Genre:

Humorous Research/Non-fiction
|
Synopsis:
|
An overview of the studies on the alimentary canal and the
development of our understanding of digestion and the role it plays in human
health.
|
Verdict:
|
Interesting look at the historical treatment and studies, all
the way up to modern times. It features the expected tales of wild
assumptions and initial inaccurate medical ‘knowledge’ but it is surprising
to discover how little we still know and how much of an influence digestive
health turns out to have on our overall wellbeing.
