Book Review: “The Metabolic Dance”, by Johnson and Hord.

Be sure to check out the book entitled The Metabolic Dance by Teresa L. Johnson and Norman G. Hord.  Teresa Johnson is a talented and accomplished dietitian, writer, and science communicator with a new website. She happens to be a former student and advisee of Dr. Fahey, a co-author with Drs. Fahey and Dinkova-Kostova, a biographer of Dr. Talalay, and a friend of the Cullman Chemoprotection Center.

As recently reviewed by Dr. Fahey:

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you eat, then it’s time to take a journey from the table to the toilet. This detailed and humorous exploration of what your body does to food – and what food does to your body – will leave you with a greater appreciation of the act of eating. You’ll never look at food the same way after The Metabolic Dance.

“Johnson 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. It’s a beautiful narrative in the style of the best of Lewis Thomas [Lives of a Cell] infused with The Fantastic Voyage.”
