Product Description
Review
Overall, this is a comprehensive but eminently readable book, which will provide an ideal companion for students of nutritional science and its affiliated healthcare disciplines. Its competitive price represents excellent value for money, further reason why I shall be recommending it highly to both my postgraduate and particularly my undergraduate students of nutrition and dietetics. (British Journal of Nutrition, 2008 )
Product Description
Essentials of Human Nutrition is the established starting point for those embarking on courses in nutrition and related fields. It has proven to be an invaluable textbook for students requiring a broad, quality survey of the subject. This third edition has been updated amidst the increasingly buoyant recognition of the role of nutrition in health and disease status. Accordingly, the book charts the involvement and impact of nutrition across the lifespan and at community level, based on a sound foundation of nutritional science. Coverage of topical subjects, such as functional foods, along with the spectre of chronic disease, and nutritional crises in the world, fuels study for assignments and essays. Figures and tables have been compiled selectively to provide a digest of the practical data and processes, such as nutritional assessment and measurement, with which students need to be familiar.

I purchased this book for a Nutrition course I am studying but haven't found it particularly helpful. I have found that to really get to grips with the content and actually understand the finer points a very good understanding of biochemistry and chemistry is required. It does seem to be a comprehensive and well structured book, but it is written with an assumption that the reader already has a chemistry background. If you don't then too much of it will go over your head for it to be truly useful.

This is a useful and informative book that goes beyond basic nutrition and discusses more complex clinical benefits and effects. Good for Master's level intro to nutrition.
