Provides comprehensive coverage of both normal and clinical nutrition with an emphasis on the underlying chemical processes. It contains seventeen chapters from Understanding Nutrition, Seventh Edition, (West/Wadsworth, 1996) with slight modifications that reflect the latest 1997 information. There are an additional thirteen clinical chapters that cover the nutrition care process and diet therapy organized by organ systems/disease states.
This is the good one yet, gives a realistic picture of things, no fast gimmicks. If you are thinking about looking good in summer, better start now not in April or May.
