Offers nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge. This book presents a different approach to the coverage of vitamins and minerals. It organizes vitamins and minerals within the context of physiological functions and the health conditions they influence. It is suitable for students who lack a strong science background.
"Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach" is an alternate version of Wardlaw-Smith's "Contemporary Nutrition, Seventh Edition". While "Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach" shares the recognized strengths of the seventh edition, it offers a unique approach to the coverage of vitamins and minerals. It departs from a traditional presentation by instead organizing vitamins and minerals within the context of physiological functions and the health conditions they influence. The text will provide students who lack a strong science background the ideal balance of reliable nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge. With their friendly writing style, the authors act as the student's personal guide to dispelling common misconceptions and to gaining a solid foundation for making informed nutrition choices.
