Were you looking for the book with access to MasteringNutrition? This product is the book alone, and does NOT come with access to MasteringNutrition. Buy the book and access card package to save money on this resource.   Bring introductory nutrition into focus with a functional approach.   The Science of Nutrition, Third Edition offers the best combination of text and media to help students master the toughest nutrition concepts in the course, while providing the richest support to save instructors time. This thoroughly current, research-based nutrition text is uniquely organized around the highly regarded applied approach, which organizes vitamins and minerals based on their functions within the body and is easily seen in the organization of the micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) chapters. Rather than requiring rote memorization, the authors present the micronutrients based on their functions (such as fluid and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, bone health, energy metabolism, and blood health and immunity), so that students can fully understand their effects on the body.   The Third Edition further helps students master nutrition content both in text and online. Ten New Focus Figure visuals walk students through the toughest nutrition concepts in the course, making difficult physiological processes easier to understand.

الكتاب ضخم جداً، وهو مرجع جيد في علم التغذية. مستواه اللغوي سلسل وغير معقد. تمنيت لو كان مقسماً على أجزاء فتسهل دراسته. لم يتركن الكاتبات لا شاردة ولا واردة إلا ووضعوها في الكتاب. لم أثق بجميع المعلومات المذكورة؛ هناك بعض المبالغات التي لم أجد لها دليلاً علمياً.

Clear and easy educational read for everyone, even those stupidos like me who dont know a thing about nutrition and hope that coffee will be the hidden ambrosia of ones every need.

I used this book during my spring nutrition class - it's packed with so much information! Great book to have around so that you can refer to it often.

It was great as a textbook, very in-depth and easy to use. It's one I'm keeping for future reference needs.

This is an awesome book. Hands down this is my favorite textbook. It's easy to read. If you have an interest in nutrition, this is a must have. I'm honestly recommending it to nearly everyone(which I don't do lightly with nutrition). The first chapter is a basic overview of nutrition. The rest is in depth nutrition.
