Body Story - text only -

Have you ever wondered what happens to your body in a crisis — a car accident, for example, or an acute allergic reaction? Would you like to know why the cabbage-soup diet doesn't work, or why eating a chicken can lead to an experience not unlike an alien invasion? How do we survive when we arrive in this world with our brains only half-formed? And how do we get through adolescence, when it sometimes seems as if our bodies are rioting and our brains have given up altogether?

The award-winning series Body Story reveals the biological drama behind six critical moments in human lives.

Crash | Teen dreams | Fat attack | Brave new world | Bad taste | Allergy
