Quick Review

Like the rest of the Secrets Series, this book is meant to cover a wide range of information succinctly. For me, I found it to be a good and quick review that helped focus on the key elements of various nutrition topics. It's not a textbook though so if you want the full explanation you're better off getting a full sized volume. Even if you've studied basic textbooks on nutrition, this could be helpful to summarize the crux of the material. The title is somewhat of a misnomer: I'd call it Nutrition Review Q and A.
