Indispensable!

I bought this book at the local bookstore after looking at other books in the same area. I have only read a few articles - however, I USE THE FOOD COMPOSITION TABLES CONSTANTLY! This is Section IX - Table of Food Composition, starting on page 389. The authors give 35 elements in each food (after measure and weight) - starting with calories, protein, numerous vitamins and minerals, and the 8 essential amino acids. If you're trying to understand which foods contain the most of a certain element, this is great! This (or something like it) is a must-have for dealing with various diets! I use this all the time to look up vegetables, fruits, beans, meats, etc.

It is well worth theprice charged.

A comprehensive no-nonsense reference guide

Nutrional Almanac is a must-have reference work for anyone who is seriously interested in promoting health through proper nutrition. The no-nonsense approach is based on sound scientific research - there's no "quackery" here.As a Distributor of high-quality GNLD nutritional supplements this book is absolutely indispensable. The Ailments Guide is invaluable for both health care professionals and laymen alike. I can highly recommend this book - it's true value for money.

One of the few sources on nutritional deficiencies & disease

This is an excellent resource on nutrition. I used it to develop a list of nutrients regularly depleted in the medical history of an Alzheimer's victim. It was the only source I found that summarized that information for a number of diseases. It's breakdown of the nutritional components of foods is also excellent.

Concise and up to date information

Arranged in such a way that it is easy to find specific topics. Information on each nutrient is concise and well presented. A good addition to any library, especially if you are interested in a healthier, more balanced approach to nutrition.
