This review is from: Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism (Hardcover)

Currently, many people are becoming seriously interested in the role of nutrition in human health. Fortunately, there are many good books on nutrition and health for the interested lay person. But once one begins to understand the extreme importance of nutrition for achieving and maintaining good health where can a seriously interested lay person turn for more detailed information? The answer is to this book. Yes, this book requires some serious study, but it is quite well written and does not require a degree in chemistry or biology to follow. A dilligent lay person can gain much valuable information from it. If you are really serious about understanding the role of nutrition in human health I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism (Hardcover)

If you want (or need) to go deep into nutrition, this is the book. Very well organized and researched information. Covers in depth nutritional physiology and biochemistry. I used this book in an advanced undergraduate nutrition course and I consider it one of my prized possessions. If there is a better book on the subject, I would like to know about it.

This is an excellent book for basic nutrition metabolism. It serves the basics you need for a more advanced courses. I would use this book to furnish/review basic knowledge before I would go into a deeper/specific area of nutrition metabolism.

Excellent for B.S students.
Excellent for those interested to review and re-visit basic nutrition during advanced schooling (M.S/PhD/Medical concerning nutrition).
PhD student in Nutritional Sciences.
