Understanding Normal and Clinical Nutrition (with InfoTrac) 
asked by waltersmith on November 6, 2006 4:57 PM
UNDERSTANDING NORMAL AND CLINICAL NUTRITION, Seventh Edition, provides the most current and comprehensive coverage of both "normal" nutrition, such as digestion and metabolism, vitamins and minerals, and life cycle nutrition, as well as "clinical" nutrition related to diseases, such as nutrition and gastrointestinal, liver, and cardiovascular diseases. The text also incorporates a number of learning tools designed to help students both retain the information and apply their knowledge so they are better prepared to work in a clinical setting. Features include case studies, "How To" boxes with examples of problem-solving in real world situations, and study questions that further conceptual understanding of the material. Regardless of the students' course background, the text is organized and written in a clear, easy to follow format that will engage and enable them to be actively involved in the field of nutrition.

First of all, I am fascinated by nutrition. It's a pretty cool thing to know how food contributes to our everyday existence. With that in mind, this book is a fantastic nutrition resource and reference. I've read a lot of extracurricular nutrition guides over the years and was under the impression I had a pretty good handle on the concepts. Nope. I felt like an amateur once I got into this book. There is so much more to learn and this book lays it out into a very "digestible" format.

I actually enjoy reading this book for class. Especially since the chapters are written in an informative yet easy to understand way. On the inside cover there is a quick guide to the DV of minerals and other supplements that has come in handy outside of class. Worth the money if you are looking for a textbook!
