A "best buy". Keeping 600 pages readable can be difficult, but this book pulls it off. This guide has anything and everything you ever wanted to know about food. It's so complete that I can't think of a big area that's been missed. Some topics addressed: fitness, managing weight, food intolerances, food safety, nutrition(all facets), meal planning, shopping, dining out, senior/women/athlete/vegetarian issues and concerns.

It is filled with practical advice and tips, and is easy to read. It is a thoughtful and factual look at food. If you're looking for quick cures and diet mumbo-jumbo, this is not your book.

Duyff has managed to sift through the scientific data that supports today's nutrition recommendations and provide consumers and healthcare professionals alike with a comprehensive source of sound and reliable information. If you're looking for THE book, one that covers virtually every topic related to food and nutrition, then look no further-this book's got it all!

I can't praise this book enough! The American Dietetic Association's Complete Food & Nutrition Guide offers a wealth of information in a very easy to read format. If you buy just one book on nutrition, you should consider this one. It is filled with a vast amount of information on nutrition as well as lots of tips on how to apply that information to your life. It really is a wonderful book. I highly recommend it.

If you are interested in learning EVERYTHING there is to know about the foods you eat, this is the book for you. With special chapters for special dietetic needs, this book is essential for anyone taking an active role in their health and well-being.

Finally ... a nutrition book that offers honest, straight-forward advice in a format that's easy, and even fun, to read. Although I bought it for myself, it has now become a resource that our entire family uses, including my parents.

This book is a veritable encyclopedia of nutrition, laid out with easy to read format, lots of side-bars, and tons of current information about what we eat.

Cooking Light magazine has named The American Dietetic Association's Complete Food and Nutrition Guide as one of 9 best books for cooks in the January, 1999 issue!

This book was full of nutrition information and I enjoyed reading it. It's a book a refer to often.

Exccellent content for all scenarios for nutrition. Weak on protien needs for bodybuilders, but it is definitely worth it for "do you know" sections revealing little tidbits everyone should know about nutrition. Cooking section is great, even a guide to shopping, very good, a great complement in a nutrition library

If you like"Association Diets," especially one from one of the most politically agressive and media savvy organizations, this one is for you. One look shows the typical high starch, high glycemic diet that almost killed me. If you are truly interested in eating healthy, this type of one-size-fits all diet guide is just about useless.
