About the product The author of this book, a young microbiologist, does not avoid the «indecent» topic of digestion, but, on the contrary, studies with interest the most hardworking organ of our body. The intestine is responsible for many processes: it supplies us with energy, regulates our mood, and the tiny organisms living in it support our immunity. Why do we need an appendix? What is intestinal infantilism? Why is your stomach rumbling? This book about a unique organ has become another small step forward on the path to discovering the secrets and mysteries of our body. Abstract Many people are embarrassed to talk about the intestines out loud. Perhaps that is why we know so little about the most powerful organ that controls our body. Someone may be shocked by such a frank appeal of the researcher to «forbidden» topics; to some, the experiments on mice and on volunteer patients described in the book may seem too extreme. Someone will doubt the omnipotence of the tiny organisms that control our lives. And to some, the assumption that the intestine has its own «brain» and «nervous system» will generally seem absurd and unscientific. But let us remember that the new and the unknown always scares a person, and this book is another step forward on the path to discovering the secrets and mysteries of our body.
