- Written by international experts in the field, bringing a high-calibre, global orientation to the content
- Describes the aspects of nutrition essential to the understanding and practice of human nutrition
- Integrates evidence from the molecular, organismal, and population level to promote the practical application of nutritional science in metabolic, clinical, and public health nutrition
- Beyond the nutrients themselves, coverage includes major issues such as chronic disease and nutritional crises
New to this edition - New chapters on Genes and Nutrition and Sustainability of Food Supplies
- Enhanced coverage of the B vitamins and obesity
- Several new case studies on topics such as diabetes, trans fatty acids, and whether people really need to take extra vitamin C
Nutrition is one of the most important determinants of individual and public health. An increasingly informed public expects its health and food professionals to be able to offer clear, evidence-based advice on diet and associated health implications, but how can established nutrition principles be extracted from the extensive body of often misleading information available in the public domain?
For those embarking on courses in nutrition or related subjects, Essentials of Human Nutrition offers a broad, quality survey of the field. Chapters written by international
experts chart the involvement and impact of nutrition across different age groups and from the genetic to the community level. It draws together the wide spectrum of disciplines, from biochemistry to counselling, necessary to promote the practical application of nutritional science at the human level, providing everything a student needs to appreciate the increasingly recognized importance of nutrition to health and disease.
- Disentangles scientifically established nutrition principles from the morass of misinformation available in the public domain
- Data sets and extensive referencing ensure the content is firmly anchored in nutrition science
- Practical processes with which students need to be familiar, such as dietary assessment and food
analysis, are covered
