About this title

Review:

"As a registered dietitian, I found the book fascinating and up to date . . . The second edition certainly is warranted due to research updates over the past eight years." (Doody′s, 12 August 2011)

From the Back Cover:

Having ensured a basic knowledge in nutrition with Introduction to Human Nutrition, this book will allow students to explore nutrition and metabolism across the various systems of the body rather than to deal in advanced aspects of nutrition and metabolism on a nutrient by nutrient basis or by group of nutrients. Thus there will not be an identifiable chapter on Vitamin A; this vitamin will be covered in all of these chapters: The Nutrient Requirements of Tissues and Organs, The Sensory System, Molecular aspects of Nutrition, The Reproductive System, The immune and inflammatory System and Under–nutrition.

Nutrition and Metabolism will provide the student with the detailed information they need about how different nutrients effect and are required by different parts of the body. This allows the student to concentrate on parts of the body at one time rather than concentrating on each individual nutrient or mineral, making the information more assessable and easier to digest.
