Vital Information
I have recently embarked on a nutrition diploma and have bought the book as background reading for my course. I found the book to be well written, easy to read and even more importantly easy to understand. A must for anyone who like me is embarking on a career in nutrition or quite simply takes a keen interest in the health of their body.
