I am not sure why there is one horrible review. I found this book informative, concise, and comprehensive. There are references for each chapter that appear very inclusive. The detail in each subjective envelops the subject effectively. As a registered dietitian I recommend this book for the healthcare professional. It is inclusive enough but could be overly detailed for public use.

Unless you have to buy this book for a class I would stay away fron it. It is quite possibly one of the worst tetbooks I have ever had. It makes the subjest of nutrition way more complicated than it needs to be. Instead of breaking the subject down and making it more understandable it makes nutrition extremely difficult.

Very comprehensive and informative. Great detail is giving within each chapter and subject within this book. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about nutrition and disease. Also gives alternative medicine advice for different diseases and illnesses.

breaks down components of nutrition very well. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a basic book on nutrition.

I would suggest to other that the book was in good condition. I was happy with the purchase and was affordable.

An easy read, I understood the logic and followed the text well enough to make an A in the class!!

great addition to my research and information library

Bought for school. Was in good condition.
