Product Description: Contemporary Nutrition is designed for students with little or no background in college-level biology, chemistry or physiology. Updated to reflect the latest guidelines and research in this constantly evolving and dynamic field, Contemporary Nutrition will provide students who lack a strong science background the ideal balance of reliable nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge. With his friendly writing style, Gordon Wardlaw acts as the student's personal guide to dispelling common misconceptions and to gaining a solid foundation for making informed nutrition choices.
Intro to Nutrition This book was easy to use. I needed this book for a pre-nursing class so I didn't have a choice in wanting to buy this book. Lot of intresting facts, and well put together, my only suggestion would be to not have this book in paperback.
Nutrition change The book is good except it makes you wonder why do we bother with it since the nutritional pyramid changed anyhow. It was great to find that book covered some healthy suggestion to lower down cholesterol (like different non-hydrogenated vegetable spreads, however, SmartBalance was not included for some reason). I guess next edition will cover all the changes that happened this year. Will this edition be worth reading again?!
