Be Your Own Lab Rat

Article Abstract:

In the tradition of medical researchers who test new techniques on themselves some of the plagues of daily life are investigated. It is impossible to gauge to odor of one's breath and a second subject is required to perform the experiment. Other self experiments, such as the health effects of eating only fast food for a week and the effects of fiber on flatulence and bowel movements are presented.
