Handbook of Nutrition and Food

Review
- N. Duran, Texas A&M, in CHOICE, Vol. 39 No. 10

-Joseph G. Endres, in Inform Magazine

This handbook collects much useful information in one place, ranging from chemical diagrams to nutrient cycles and SI conversion factors. …assumes an understanding of nutrition and chemistry and is addressed to the practitioner, not the general public. Web resources are recommended where appropriate. There is a short section on animal nutrition with a list of useful Web sites.

This handbook has a desirable balance between pure data sets and discussion of how the data relate to the practical understanding and possible treatment of nutritional diseases. This handbook should be made available to everyone in the medical, clinical, and food fields as a ready reference. I highly recommend that the readers of Inform ensure that a copy is available for their use. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
Extensively revised and updated, the Handbook of Nutrition and Food, Second Edition covers basic nutrition concepts including food composition, labeling, and nutrient analysis systems to provide a solid foundation for understanding the role of individual micronutrients, metabolic issues, as well as nutrient-nutrient interactions and their effects on the body. Contributions from leading researchers address nutritional need throughout the lifecycle from pre-natal to old age, as well as the nutritional evaluation and monitoring of specific age and cultural demographics. A considerable portion of the book details clinical nutrition and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of nutrition in a wide variety of disease circumstances.
