Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ (Ocharovatelny Kishechnik)

Many people are embarrassed to talk about the intestines out loud. Perhaps this is why we know so little about the most powerful organ that controls our body.

Somemay be shocked by the researcher’s frank appeal to “forbidden” topics; somemaythe experiments on mice and volunteer patients described in the book seem too extreme. Somewill doubt the omnipotence of tiny organisms that control our lives. And somethe assumption that the intestines have their own “brain” and “nervous system” will generally seem absurd and unscientific. But let's remember that the new and unknown always frightens people, and this book is another step forward on the path to discovering the secrets and mysteries of our body.
