Read this front to back before grad school 18 Mar 2010

By J. Katz - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book provides essential nutrition basics. It is easy to understand and you can lift it without back strain. I bought it while midway through my graduate courses in nutrition, though should have read it before and used it as a reference during.

great book 28 Jun 2010

By g.richardson - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is thorough and does not make assumptions. It definitely states when a theory is a theory as opposed to fact. It is easy to understand and a great asset in continuing nutrition education. I do wish the book companion site was more interactive, but overall great book.
