About this book
Reviews
"...easy to read...It could provide invaluable information to those developing nutrition intervention strategies and would make an invaluable resource to seek and purchase for reference libraries." -Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics
"...this book is highly recommended, not only for its practical and objective coverage of many important nutritional and health issues, but also for the concise summaries and specific recommendations on them at the end of each chapter." -Food and Nutrition Bulletin
"This book should appeal to a broad audience of nutritionists, dietitians, healthcare providers, educators, and a substantial number of the lay public...The chapters have an abundance of tables and a modest number of figures that summarize the findings of a large number of scientific investigations....This is an outstanding book....It is a very important contribution that will be of great value to many healthcare workers in the U.S. and abroad. It serves as a milepost of important nutritional measures for the prevention of chronic disease."4 STARS-Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal
"...an excellent resource for public health professionals looking for accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive information on current research and recommendations on nutrition in the prevention of disease and disability." -Canadian Journal of Public Health
"...an important resource for physicians interested in nutrition...provides a scientific basis to evaluate the health claims of nutritional products [and] answer the nutritional inquiries of patients...nothing quite like it in scope and achievement for dealing with preventive nutrition." -Endocrinologist
"...should find a place on the bookshelves of all health profesionals who recognise the role of diet in health promotion; in particular, dieticians, nutritionists and medical practitioners who are regularly faced with questions on nutrition and disease prevention." -South African Medical Journal
