The Metabolic Dance: How Digestion Transforms Food and Enables Life

If youâ€™ve ever wondered what happens when you eat, then itâ€™s time to take a journey from the table to the toilet.

This detailed and humorous exploration of what your body does to foodâ€”and what food does to your bodyâ€”will leave you with a greater appreciation of the act of eating. Youâ€™ll never look at food the same way after The Metabolic Dance.

â€œJohnson 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. Itâ€™s a beautiful narrative in the style of the best of Lewis Thomas [Lives of a Cell] infused with The Fantastic Voyage.â€
