Product Description

The third edition of this leading textbook builds upon the excellent foundation of the previous two editions. It explains and explores the science underlying our current understanding of the interactions between diet and health, and the basis for current dietary goals and recommendations. It also provides a concise and authoritative description of the biochemistry that is essential to an understanding of the functions of nutrients and the importance of diet and nutrition for health and disease. The discussion of metabolic pathways and their regulation is illustrated by clear and simple diagrams, and is linked throughout to nutritional and physiological aspects.

Very useful book, (also small and easy to carry :-) )4
Having read most of this book I found it suprisingly interesting. Topics are laid out in clear and comprehensive manner. With most topics illustrated by diagrams.
Have just started a Biology degree I found this book simple and easy to read with (almost) everything being clearly explained.

My advise: If your looking for an exciting read that this isn't for you, but if your looking for clear well layed out informative "Introdution to Nutririon and Metabolism" then read this.

EXCELLENT BOOK5
Being a first year medical student at UCL, i found this book very useful. It was to the point, contained all the information i needed, and was well layed out. The book is highly relevant, and is a must for everyone not only studying medicine, but also very helpful in biochemistry etc. A good buy!!!!!

Essential for pre-clinical medicine at UCL!4
This book is clear, concise and exactly what you need to pass exams at UCL!
Dr Bender, author of this book, writes the exams and reading this book is the best thing you can do to pass them!
For those not at UCL, this book will satisfy all your nutrition and metabolism needs...
Also, no need to spend more buying the latest edition!
