4.0 out of 5 stars
Concise introduction to nutrition for the lay person
Even though the title suggests that this book is a "reference", I found the chapters on macro and micronutrients to be a comprehensive starting point for learning more about nutrition. Easy to follow with many references to clinical studies, this book offers a lot for the lay person trying to decipher the recent flood of health advice regarding diet...

Even though the title suggests that this book is a "reference", I found the chapters on macro and micronutrients to be a comprehensive starting point for learning more about nutrition. Easy to follow with many references to clinical studies, this book offers a lot for the lay person trying to decipher the recent flood of health advice regarding diet. Special chapters on how specific diseases relate to diet might have been more extensive, but otherwise the book was excellent.

Useful,

This book is concise, well written, and addresses many nutritional issues with a seemingly unbiased and scientific perspective. Another book that is really good is Total Nutrition.

The things your Dr. should have told you but didn't .,
By sadone@dwebs.dwebs.net (Fruitland Park, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nutrition Desk Reference (Paperback)
Just got my copy and although it is a reference book reading it stright through couldn't hurt. I wish some of the many Dr's I have gone to, looking for cures or answers, would have given me the education this book has in it to help heal or prevent the damage done by disease and perscription drugs. It is a shame on the medical system that we are forced to search & study and find our own healing while, at the same time, paying unbelievable costs to Dr's who only strive to treat the symptoms. The word "cure" is seldom heard in the hallowed halls of medicine.
