Understanding Nutrition

This book was listed for the best price on Amazon so we rented it. The book was very in depth and contained lists of many areas of nutritional information. I think renting is cheaper, but still costly just to borrow a book. But all places are expensive for books so.....

i gave this five stars as it is easy to follow and covers a lot of ground. i particularly like the chemistry side and as i have not touched chemistry for 31 years i feel that the explanations are very clear. it's obviously rellated very much to North American nutrition but as the SAD has a stronghold in Europe, it's very good.

A great text for anything nutrition. The author does an amazing job explaining the science of nutrition, and has really opened my eyes to a lot of the falsities most americians think are nutritional facts, like needing to take vitamin supplements.My only complaint was the cost of the book, but that is a general complaint that I have with all text books.

This is a must have book for anyone studying or working in the area of nutrition, dietetics and generally food presentation.

Required for my college nutrition course. Good book, all though I didn't have to use it much so I am glad I rented it instead of purchasing. Good visual aids and clear descriptive information. I would recommend renting over buying due to the fact that this is a subject that is rapidly changing so some of the contained information could go out of date pretty quickly. Book was in good condition for rental, gently used but no writing or highlighting.
