Handbook of Nutrition and Food, Second Edition

Extensively revised and updated, the Handbook of Nutrition and Food, Second Edition covers basic nutrition concepts including food composition, labeling, and nutrient analysis systems to provide a solid foundation for understanding the role of individual micronutrients, metabolic issues, as well as nutrient-nutrient interactions and their effects on the body. Contributions from leading researchers address nutritional need throughout the lifecycle from pre-natal to old age, as well as the nutritional evaluation and monitoring of specific age and cultural demographics. A considerable portion of the book details clinical nutrition and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of nutrition in a wide variety of disease circumstances.
