Contemporary Nutrition, A Functional Approach

by Gordon M. Wardlaw, Anne Smith

Completely revised and up-to-date with MyPlate, Healthy People 2020 and Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach is an alternate version of Wardlaw-Smith's Contemporary Nutrition, 9e. While Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach shares the recognized strengths of the ninth edition, it offers a unique approach to the coverage of vitamins and minerals. It departs from a traditional presentation by instead organizing vitamins and minerals within the context of physiological functions and the health conditions they influence. The text will provide students who lack a strong science background the ideal balance of reliable nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge. With their friendly writing style, the authors act as the student's personal guide to dispelling common misconceptions and to gaining a solid foundation for making informed nutrition choices.

For a text book, it was easy to read and understand.

[Annie Lanier]

Excellent information on the subject for people who have no idea about nutrition

[Amy Souza]

I learened an amazing amount from this book. I was reassured that I was feeding my family well. It cleared up many misconceptions as it covered how each nutrient is processed and used by the body.

It was a textbook read for a class, so it wasn't exactly joy-reading. However, I read the entire thing cover-to-cover, and it was instructive with excellent illustrations. It felt like it was pushing "MyPlate" and governmental eating programs a little too much, though, and encouraged readers to drink milk with every meal (okay, big dairy). I'll reference it again as needed.

I think there was a lot of good stuff in here. I was told by a nutritionist that the knowledge of the time this was written was not all that accurate anymore. I think she was exaggerating but I could see parts where what she said would be true. I read it anyway.

[Andrew Hodgson]

The very best nutrition text book I have seen, and I have a degree in nutrition. i wish my school had used a book this easy to read and well written. I read this before a job interview as review and got the job.
