5.0 out of 5 stars
A good read and reference source,
By Jo S (Auckland, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Nutrition, Updated Sixth Edition (Paperback)
Everything I needed to know about nutrition for my Health Science degree, plus a little bit more for general interest. I enjoy reading this despite it being a text book, which is unusual for me. Good clear references, great defintions, and good everyday examples I can relate to. I have been really pleased with this purchase, This is one text book I will hang onto.

This book was a lifesaver! I was able to return the college's OVERPRICED book and retain this copy for my class. Thank you.
