If youÕve ever wondered what happens when you eat, then itÕs time to take a journey from the table to the toilet.
This detailed and humorous exploration of what your body does to foodÑand what food does to your bodyÑwill leave you with a greater appreciation of the act of eating. YouÕll never look at food the same way after The Metabolic Dance.
ÒJohnson and Hord have created a highly readable resource for nutrition students, applied researchers, and interested laypersons alike. This engaging and entertaining book illuminates a number of important issues not commonly treated in a didactic manner and certainly not covered in most nutrition textbooks. ItÕs a beautiful narrative in the style of the best of Lewis Thomas [Lives of a Cell] infused with The Fantastic Voyage.Ó
