Nutrition

Boring book but needed it for a class. I guess I did learn some interesting things from it but I only read it when I needed to cram for a test.

Excellent condition!!! Book is basically brand new.. okay shipping time but well worth it! Great price!

Exactly what I needed for school. Bought it new and it came with the access code (although I didn’t need it) but it’ll be nice for when I sell it back

Awesome texted don’t just rent it, buy it!! Wish I had!!:)

Good condition

passed all my exams with this textbook! great use!

Great shipping time! Can’t wait to read through it all

Rented for college

I bought this book and had a look through it and then returned it. It is a very good book, so why did I not keep it? I have a first degree in physiology and so I was looking for something at the level of first year undergraduate whereas this book is pitched at the level (for British readers) of A-level. (Although the actual amount of material in the book is greater than the amount of material which a student would be required to master at A-level.)That said it is a very good book and for many people it will be extremely valuable. If it had been given the "look inside" feature I would have been able to gauge the level at which the text was pitched. Some of the material is repeated a bit. For example a lot of the advice on nutrition for children is the same as the advice on nutrition for older people — some of it is different of course. Would you be surprised to learn that the reader is exhorted to get plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables on half a dozen occasions? Also there is a long section at the back giving the nutritional breakdown for a very large number of foods. I simply don't believe that anybody plans their diet in this way, apart from possibly a professional dietician working in an institution thinking out meals which other people are going to eat. But these are just quibbles. If you are looking for an authoritative, up-to-date survey of nutrition which broaches several current controversies and contains lots of useful information all in one place then this book is just what you need.

Really detailed and well laid out. I was recommended this by a university lecturer and I can see why. Quite possibly the best nutrition book out there. I looked at a few others in the library and they don't come close.

I love everything about this textbook! A must for a Nutrition student like me!

Just love this book. Very illustrative, thorough and most importantly easy to read. Must have for Nutrition experts and enthusiasts for reference.
