Publisher's Synopsis
Make better food choices and live a healthier life with NUTRITION: CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERSIES. More conversational than a pure-science text, this book explores the essentials of nutrition--including how the body breaks down and uses food, food safety, sports nutrition and special nutritional needs throughout the human life cycle--and asks you to weigh in on relevant debates, such as sustainable diets, the safety of supplements, genetically modified foods, how much is too much sugar, and �keto� and �paleo� diets. NUTRITION: CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERSIES is available with the MindTap learning platform, which offers self-quizzing and activities to propel your learning from memorization to mastery.
