Essentials of Human Nutrition
Nutrition is one of the most important determinants of individual and public health. An increasingly informed public expects its health and food professionals to be able to offer clear, evidence-based advice on diet and associated health implications, but how can established nutrition
principles be extracted from the extensive body of often misleading information available in the public domain?
For those embarking on courses in nutrition or related subjects, Essentials of Human Nutrition offers a broad, quality survey of the field. Chapters written by international experts chart the involvement and impact of nutrition across different age groups and from the genetic to the community level.
It draws together the wide spectrum of disciplines, from biochemistry to counselling, necessary to promote the practical application of nutritional science at the human level, providing everything a student needs to appreciate the increasingly recognized importance of nutrition to health and
disease.
- Disentangles scientifically established nutrition principles from the morass of misinformation available in the public domain
- Data sets and extensive referencing ensure the content is firmly anchored in nutrition science
- Practical processes with which students need to be familiar, such as dietary assessment and food analysis, are covered

This is probably geared towards medical students or people working in the healthcare industry but I still found it informative and easy to read. I wanted to learn more about how nutrition can affect your health and this definitely helped. It made me think more about what I put in my body on a daily basis. It also gave me starting points to go and read up on certain areas that are of interest to my own health.

Very interesting book.
A good intro to nutrition, although at times some of the medical terms confused me. But good for reasearch
