Handy nutrition reference book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is a very useful, well organized nutrition reference that provides concise definitions across the spectrum of nutrition, including herbs and biochemistry. Most nutrition concepts are covered. I recommend it for anyone looking for a quick, comprehensive, accurate nutrition dictionary that is easy to understand.
