Well written introduction to Nutrition Therapy

Although this book was copyrighted ten years ago (1996), the information about nutrition and nutrition therapy is still applicable. This is a good introductory book and an easy read as well. I like this book because it is formatted like a textbook: it has keyterms and objectives at the start of the chapter. The topics are discussed individually under a heading and topics are outlined clearly which saves reading time. The book has tables, figures, photos, case studies, and displays (highlighted and useful information about a topic, for example, "safety guidelines for microwave cooking", etc. At the end of each chapter, it has keys to practical application, key ideas, and study-discussion questions.

A Pleasant, Painless Experience

While I've ordered current fiction online frequently, I needed a book (Intoductory Nutrition & Nutritional Therapy) & was having difficulty finding it. What a pleasant surprise to find sellers of this book (AmericanText) who offered a "used copy" of the book. When it arrived it looked brand new! I'll be sure to bookmark this as a favorite site. Many thanks for making this such a plesant experience. Your merchandise is quality and well priced!

Great introduction

I am not a nutritionist nor dietician, but this book explains many advanced concepts in a way that I can understand and apply to my own life. I use it as a reference often when I am confused about a topic relating to nutrition. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about nutrition.
