Great

Efficient, made sure that I was getting exactly what I was looking for. Communicating through email in a very clear and polite way. I will definitely look here first when I need text books.

A medical textbook on nutrition, but it's easy for everyone to read if they're interested in healthy food choices.
So much Info
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I would reccomend this book for anyone interested in making healthier food choices. The ones who have the wish to improve their eating habits, but are not sure what those habits should be, will find here an amazing amount of helpful information in form of text, charts and even extensive calorie content tables. I use this book as a textbook for the course, but it could be read by anyone.
Required for a semester, but keeps for a lifetime
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Overall, I found this text to be chocked full of helpful knowledge. I was required to purchase this book for a course I took in beginning nutrition, but I will keep it forever because of the wealth of knowledge. The concepts are suburbly explained and illustrations make understanding the information easier. Even though most people buy this for a class, I believe it is easy to read and assimilate the information. The Appendices are chocked full of useful facts about the current diet and exchange lists, including food pyramids and such.The only information I disagree with is the section on vegetarianism. Surely they could have done a better job and included more than four pages! However, there are plenty of books dedicated solely to vegetarians/vegans that would be more important and informative.It would also have been nice to see more updated information on fad diets such as Atkins or South Beach with respect to health issues. Or even more recent scientific studies throughout the book would contribute significantly to the reading.Since the 2004 edition is just coming out, if you can pick up a cheap copy of this edition it is well worth the investment.
