Would consider owning as a handy reference book. Considering it was published in 2007, there are doubtless portions that could use updating—such as the chapter on amino acids—but in general, I think every adult would benefit from reading this to understand the basics of nutrition, nutrition facts vs. “quacks”, how different nutrients are absorbed, how certain nutrients are affected by cooking, freezing, etc.

Great book for basic information

I knew nothing about vitamins and minerals, for the most part. This book was fantastic in understanding why I'm having some of the issues I have and how I can work towards fixing them. I understand how the vitamins/minerals work, what the safe dosages are and what health conditions/medicines can complicate things. This book is a fantastic start in my journey to understanding nutrition.

Great reference.

Pretty basic stuff or what you already know, but easy to follow and cover stuff you may have let slide.
