Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism (Hardcover)
This book provides essential nutrition basics. It is easy to understand and you can lift it without back strain. I bought it while midway through my graduate courses in nutrition, though should have read it before and used it as a reference during.

great book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism (Hardcover)
This book is thorough and does not make assumptions. It definitely states when a theory is a theory as opposed to fact. It is easy to understand and a great asset in continuing nutrition education. I do wish the book companion site was more interactive, but overall great book.
