After watching this tape a few times, I decided not to enroll in a college nutrition class. I can't imagine any class being as informative and entertaining as this tape is. If I needed to take a course in nutrition, this tape would certainly be a valuable asset to review for tests.

This video presents a comprehensive overview of nutrition topics that would be presented in a high school course on nutrition. The style of video is designed to appeal to the high school student, but the information presented is solid enough for adult audiences.

I enjoyed the video and learned a lot, especially about the basic science behind digestion.

I bought this video for a distance undergraduate nutrition class. It's a great educational tool, but it was filmed many years ago and it's a little dated - the people, not the information, although there's always new info in nutrition, so some of the info is a little dated too I suppose.

It does name complex info and make it really simple to understand and I'd recommend this for any nutrition student or anyone who wants to learn more about nutrition.

It's easy to watch and great to watch as an overview before you get into the complexities of the textbook. It also provides some great mnemonics to help remember certain concepts.

They try to cover too much and don't go into each important topic as they should. They talk way TOO fast and I was VERY disappointed with it. NOT WORTH BUYING!!!

I purchased this to supplement my homeschool high school and middle school curriculum. This is an excellent product, both for studying nutrition and for studying biology. Their explanation of the molecules of life, followed by tons of great and detailed information, presented in an easy to assimilate format, makes this an extremely valuable asset. If you, or your student, desire to understand proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, this is the tool to buy! I've taught science in nearly every type of school setting for over 20 years and wish I'd found this sooner. I find the Standard Deviants videos very useful and appreciate them all, but this one stands out as a best buy.
