Marvelous book - a nutrition bible!

Definitely a must-have for those seeking higher learning in the field of nutrition. Covers in-depth individual topics on different vitamins and minerals as well as specific disease conditions.

A "must have" for Nutrition Graduate Students

This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbook on nutrition available! The 9th edition has 115 (one hundred fifteen) chapters and multiple sections of an Appendix, updated by 169 authors in 10 countries and from many scientific disciplines. Nutrition science has an extremely broad scope with relevance to all basic and applied biologic sciences, medicine, dentistry, dietetics, nursing, pharmacy, public health and public policy. In one very thorough edition (approx 2,000 pages), this text succeeds at integrating Nutrition science into practical knowledge. For around $100, the price equals 20 cents per page ... making it an extraordinary value! ENJOY :)

Must-Have Nutrition Text!

This is one of the most valuable textbooks in nutrition, with comprehensive coverage of basic and clinical nutrition topics. The 9th edition combines the two 8th edition volumes into one, and contains new chapters. Topics covered in new chapters include alternative nutrition therapies, regulating food and dietary intakes and food labeling and dietary supplements legislation. I recommend this text for anyone in the field of nutrition and it is especially essential for anyone in a graduate nutrition program. If you are to buy one nutrition text, this should be it!
