Love this new edition! I am a college professor and highly recommend this as a supplemental text for my intro nutrition students.

It is suprisingly hard to find a book on diet that isn’t trying to push A diet. This one seems pretty agnostic.

Very well-written guide to latest nutrition information.

It’s nice to read a nutrition book that doesn’t have an agenda, is just facts, and let’s me draw my own conclusions about my health from there.
This is a great overview & introduction in the nutrition & dietetics field and is a great industry reference for anyone wanting to understand more about the profession and how diet plays into the western-medicine philosophy.

Really thick and well written book on eating right and why. I took a dietician class when in college and have been eating healthy ever since. My friend, however eats the wrong things and can’t understand why he’s overweight and sluggish. I bought it for him to get an education on healthy eating. Hope he reads it. It’s very informative.

This book has a lot of useful and interesting food and nutrition related information that you won’t stop reading for a long period once you start reading. It’s a keepsake not just for a dietitian in practice but for everyone who is interested in learning about some evidence based nutritional information relevant to general health and some useful tips.

This book is massive -816 pages. It is big and the print is small. Just flipping thru the book, there is a lot of information in the 26 Chapters. I just received it today and I was by the surprised by the size and not happy about the small print but at least it was on sale. I will update later after I have actually read it or at least some of it. For me and many other people this may be more of a go-to for information book than a sit and read the chapters book.

This is by far the best nutrition book out there for the public. It is very readable and has much common sense. Answers common questions and myths about diet and nutrition. I am an registered dietitian and use this all the time. for my clients. It is updated very frequently. Don’t be put off by the size of this book. It is very complete and full of great information. Highly recommend to anyone interested in reliable information.

I gave this book to my granddaughter who wanted to understand more about what food choices to make as she prepares to go to college next year. She will be on her own and making her own food choices.

I purchased this and other book when I found out I have an autoimmune disorder that requires a special diet. Because I did not get a referral to a dietitian, and my doctor was otherwise un helpful, I had to learn on my own how better my health from a nutritional standpoint. I have recommended this book to both my family and friends.
