I learened an amazing amount from this book. I was reassured that I was feeding my family well. It cleared up many misconceptions as it covered how each nutrient is processed and used by the body.
It was a textbook read for a class, so it wasn't exactly joy-reading. However, I read the entire thing cover-to-cover, and it was instructive with excellent illustrations. It felt like it was pushing "MyPlate" and governmental eating programs a little too much, though, and encouraged readers to drink milk with every meal (okay, big dairy). I'll reference it again as needed.
I think there was a lot of good stuff in here. I was told by a nutritionist that the knowledge of the time this was written was not all that accurate anymore. I think she was exaggerating but I could see parts where what she said would be true. I read it anyway.
The very best nutrition text book I have seen, and I have a degree in nutrition. i wish my school had used a book this easy to read and well written. I read this before a job interview as review and got the job.
Nutrition is very iteresting. I love learning about it. This book is, ok. Its annoying to read it, but fun to know the things inside (if that makes any sense).
It's good book to study about nutrition, to getting healthy eating behaviour.. I recommend all of you to read this amazing book to understand our body stucture..
