Fun enough, though not as thorough as I'd have liked (e.g., virtually nothing about bile, the liver, the kidneys and other organs with metabolic function). It also kept promising to be gross, and it wasn't. I don't need it to be gross, but with that promise, I expect more about the composition of feces or urine-drinking cults or what have you.
