5.0 out of 5 stars My nutrition bible, August 21, 2000

This review is from: Mayo Clinic Diet Manual: A Handbook of Nutrition Practice (Hardcover)

As a Clinical Dietitian, this book has been helping me through my work with hospitalized patients and ambulatory patients. For every condition there is a nutritional answer. Especially excellent is the pediatric section, not available in many manuels. The book is written clearly and is well understood even for those whom English is not a mother tongue. The descriptions are brief, and for each dietary treatment there is a rational. Most recommended for professionals and can be helpful for non-professionals as well. Waiting for the updated edition.

Book was described by Books4uny as New and it was definitely not that. Super wrapped in bubble and shrink wrap, but it was dingy and worn, very obvious it was not new. Can you spell integrity?

Arcane material, not conducive to making practical decisions about diet and nutrition. Seems to require long arduous scrutiny to achieve any useful result.
