I have had the good fortune to be in possession of the first and second editions of this valuable infiormation on the necessry part nutrition plays in good health and good fortune.

Werbach opened the door which brought REAL attention to the importance of GOOD NUTRITION. Thank you for asking....Sincerely, Roberta M Thorpe

Delightfully informative and resourceful

With so many people today taking a variety of supplements, this book is an indespensable reference. Has cut my research time considerably. Part 1, Illnesses and the effects of nutrients, is a brief summary of the scientific evidence of a particular supplement. It has chapters on Common Nutritional Deficiencies, Dangers of Nutritional Supplementation, Laboratory Methods for Nutritional Evaluation, Syndromes Due to Abnormal Tissue Nutrient Levels, Nutrient Bioavailability and Interactions. This is a must buy book for anyone that is involved in prevention of diseases.
