This edition of Nutrition for Dummies has been updated with the latest revisions of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, new recommended daily allowances for all the nutrients a healthy body needs, plus the real low–down on all the conflicting opinions about vitamins and minerals, protein, fats, and carbs.
