Editorial Reviews

Review

This is an interesting and readable minitext that achieves its goal of being directed to both laypersons and neophyte academics, although its usefulness to scientists already in the field ..would be most uniquely valuable to early students of the discipline, be they informed laypersons or students planning to enter disciplines related to nutrition and health.

1.0 out of 5 stars 'Antioxidants and Disease Prevention' my Review., March 1, 2009

This review is from: Antioxidants and Disease Prevention (Modern Nutrition) (Hardcover)

A highly technical Medical book, which I believe would be of use only to advanced Medical Students. I could not get anything of practical use out of it. I doubt if most of the general public could wade through even the first chapter and be any wiser. I thought it an utter bore, definitely geared to the highly motivated more advanced medical toxicology researcher. My advice if you want practical information on what antioxidants to use and some easily readable enlightening, don't waste your time with this.
