Great reference book for those seeking general information... April 29, 2007

This textbook is a comprehensive resource that will give both students and average consumers insight into how the human body processes and uses food. If you are looking for in-depth information on one particular type of dietary plan or lifestyle choice (for example, vegetarianism), this is probably not the book for you -- after all, this is an introductory textbook, and thus provides a more general overview of the subject. However, the text does provide a lot of valuable information about human nutrition and also offers a thorough discussion of current diet controversies, as well as information that will aid those seeking to create a practical exercise/training plan.
The textbook is a bit crowded with colorful charts and graphs; I personally was not annoyed by them, but if you are easily distracted by visual clutter, be forewarned. Some of the chapters focused on the biological processes are rather technical (not something that bothers me), while others are more accessible to readers; however, the text as a whole is a valuable resource and one that I will keep and continue to reference well into the future.

A medical textbook on nutrition, but it's easy for everyone to read if they're interested in healthy food choices.

I would reccomend this book for anyone interested in making healthier food choices. The ones who have the wish to improve their eating habits, but are not sure what those habits should be, will find here an amazing amount of helpful information in form of text, charts and even extensive calorie content tables.
I use this book as a textbook for the course, but it could be read by anyone.
