I purchased the book and received it very quickly. Saying it was in very good condition is slightly over exaggerated. The pages were in pretty good shape but the cover was not. It is a hard back book that is completely faded and scratched up. There was residue from old tape or stickers on the front of the book that makes everything sticky and stick to it. The title and description also says it comes with infotrac. The cardboard insert was in there but it had already been opened and the code had been used Therefore it was not included as it wont work.

The book itself contains good information though ad really does help with a Metabolism class. I am able to use this older edition because it contains a lot of the same information

My only complaint is that the pages are as thin as tissue paper, otherwise it is a superb text.

I mostly bought it to silence my mother who is a big Adelle Davis fan. For those out there who aren't ancient enough to remember that hypocritical nutritionist, she had a series of bestsellers in the '60's, but smoked and died from cancer. Anyway this book did the trick--mom quit giving me crackpot advise about vitamins.

I found explanations of the pathways to be OK. However, some of the information needed to be further explained and some of the information seemed to be contradicting.

A real textbook. Food science to it's fullest.
