Kurzbeschreibung

Facts are healthier than fads. New myths and theories about nutrition splash across the headlines every day. Americans spend over $12 billion a year on worthless-even dangerous-nutrtion products. Total Nutrition replaces fads and ignorance with scientific fact.

"A feast of information," says USA Today. What's the best way to give a baby a healthy start? What is the right diet for someone with diabetes or heart disease or arthritis? Do sugar and food additives make children hyperactive? Can foods and vitamins protect against disease? How do foods and medicines interact? What weight-loss diet is both safe and effective? What should an athlete eat for top performance?

The thinking person's guide to nutrition: With forty-one chapters packed with expert medical advice and over two hundred tables, illustrations, and sample menus, this book gives the clear, authoritative answers to all of these questions and more. As fitness broadcaster and columnist Gabe Mirkin, M.D., says, "It is so full of solid scientific information about food that everyone should own a copy."

Biased and condescending

Excellent reference source for anyone5
This is an excellent reference source for anyone wanting to obtain information for a school paper or learn more about nutrition. I tend to agree and disagree with the previous reviewers. Don't expect this book to have an exhausting amount of information on a specific subject you are looking for. This book is a broad and total reference on the subject of nutrition. At times I have had to search the index to find a subject located in multiple places in the book. Not uncommon for a large reference book. This book is one of the best for general, quick information on nutrition. I sometimes use it exclusively to research a paper for school. But at times find myself using several books to get all the information. Overall, AN EXCELLENT BOOK!
