Introduction to Human Nutrition

by Michael J. Gibney (Editor), Frans J. Kok (Series Editor), Hester H. Vorster (Series Editor)

As an academic subject, nutrition has grown enormously in recent years and with it the need for specialist textbooks on the subject. In response to this need, a decision was taken by The Nutrition Society to produce a ground-breaking series of four textbooks, of which Introduction to Human Nutrition is the first. The books in the series: Introduction to Human Nutrition is an essential purchase for students of nutrition and dietetics, and also for those students who major in other subjects that have a nutrition component, such as food science, medicine, pharmacy and nursing. Professionals in nutrition, dietetics, food science, medicine, health sciences and many related areas will also find much of great value within its covers.

[Gia Isa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly speaking, never have I ever had enjoyed my university textbook as if I am reading a novel. I know it is kind of obvious if I enjoy this since I am that passionate about food nutrition. Both content and style of writing are true page-turners, moreover, I have been interested with food nutrition ever since I was in Junior High School. Thus, some terms are familiar already. Reading this book makes me fully determined that Food Science and Nutrition is my lifetime passion, and ignites me to study such major for my future master degree. Love this book to pieces!

This was mainly a good book. It was quite heavy-going in places. I found some of the information apparently contradictory which was disappointing for a scientific textbook but it did have many contributors.
