I didn't read the whole book as it was just suggested reading for an advanced nutrition class. However, I like the way this book was written and explains the topics. Much easier to understand than our large textbook! I might take to reading the whole thing on my free time.

Excellent, except for the last two chapters on diet, disease and intervention, where the author is not up to date with recent research at all.
