4.0 out of 5 stars A Dietitian's Best Friend, July 13, 2005

This review is from: Nutritional Assessment (Spiral-bound)

This book is shy of five stars only because the chapter about the food guide pyramide is not updated to the recent 2005 MyPyramide.
The book is detailed and thourough throughout, with exellent graphs, charts and figures to illustrate concepts. Useful references if one would like to look further into an issue discussed. My dietitian-library would not be complete without this book.
