Book Description
For the advanced course for majors, this text takes a cells to systems approach. The text and research focus on normal nutrition and physiological function in the human, rather than on strictly clinical aspects. The new edition features updated coverage of antioxidants and alcohol. This edition includes the 1993 Diabetes Control and Complications Trial.

 Odd Complaint & Reason to Buy March 21, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My only complaint is that the pages are as thin as tissue paper, otherwise it is a superb text.
I mostly bought it to silence my mother who is a big Adelle Davis fan. For those out there who aren't ancient enough to remember that hypocritical nutritionist, she had a series of bestsellers in the '60's, but smoked and died from cancer. Anyway this book did the trick--mom quit giving me crackpot advise about vitamins.

Readable, in-depth discussion of nutrition and metabolism. September 14, 2002
25 out of 25 found this review helpful
Currently, many people are becoming seriously interested in the role of nutrition in human health. Fortunately, there are many good books on nutrition and health for the interested lay person. But once one begins to understand the extreme importance of nutrition for achieving and maintaining good health where can a seriously interested lay person turn for more detailed information? The answer is to this book. Yes, this book requires some serious study, but it is quite well written and does not require a degree in chemistry or biology to follow. A dilligent lay person can gain much valuable information from it. If you are really serious about understanding the role of nutrition in human health I highly recommend this book.
The best advanced nutrition book I know. November 14, 2000
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
If you want (or need) to go deep into nutrition, this is the book. Very well organized and researched information. Covers in depth nutritional physiology and biochemistry. I used this book in an advanced undergraduate nutrition course and I consider it one of my prized possessions. If there is a better book on the subject, I would like to know about it.
Best biochemical nutrition textbook! July 15, 1998
73 out of 74 found this review helpful
I am a graduate student who majors in Nutrition. This is a best biochemical nutrition textbook I ever read! What I like about this textbook is: (1) relatively light weight (575 pages) for this type of textbook, yet very comprehensive. It contains from basic physiology and biochemistry to a current field such as antioxidant nutrition; (2) a large amount of well summarized figures (almost every page has al least one figure); (3) plain English; (4) each chapter concludes with annotated bibliography so that you could use this book as a sort of literature review on a specific field; (5) well-made index, so that you could use this as a sort of encyclopedia of nutrition. Title says "advanced", but I recommend this book to undergraduate students who look for explanation on the biochemistry basis in the nutrition field.
