Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ by Giulia Enders
4.0
I went into this book knowing almost nothing about how the digestive system works, so I learned A LOT. I picked this book because I was especially interested in learning about gut bacteria and probiotics (and the so-called "second brain" in our gut) and this book did not disappoint.
I had a hard time deciding if I should give it four or five stars because I know so little that it's hard for me judge how accurate this information is. But the author says this field is so new that's it's hard for even her to know if what she's saying is correct.
I felt like some of the jokes and metaphors were super weird but she's German and I'm American, so that might explain it. I did appreciate the conversational tone and a majority of the jokes and metaphors worked.
