Detailed description
What is the kick we get from our morning cup of coffee or tea and why are we attracted by the smell of spices or perfume? How do the holes get in the cheese and why should you not clean your teeth after drinking a glass of wine?
The authors have succeeded in explaining everyday objects in a scientific way to reveal hidden biochemical processes. This informative and richly illustrated book solves commonplace riddles in a readily comprehensible and entertaining manner, which you would probably not associate with biochemistry.
