Designed for students in health care professions, this book has proved successful as an introduction to or a review of the fundamentals of nutrition and diet therapy. This fifth edition has been substantially revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in nutrition. The text covers the chemical and physical basis for nutrition as well as meal planning and preparation, nutrition throughout the life span, and diet therapy. Four new chapters cover nutritional assessment, fats, water (including electrolytes and acid-base balance), and consumer concerns and trends such as food labeling, irradiation, additives, and "imitation" foods. As in previous editions, extensive learning aids are provided, including lists of key terms, learning objectives, chapter summaries, suggested activities, and numerous tables, charts and photos. This book should be of interest to nutritionists and students in health care professions.
