Food & Nutrition: Australia and New Zealand

Widely regarded as the most authoritative introduction to nutrition and dietetics in the region, this comprehensive study offers an overview of the biochemistry of foods, nutrition issues at different life stages, dietary disorders, and the social, political, and environmental contexts of food production and consumption. This new edition has been completely revised and significantly expanded to encompass recent developments in science, technology, and policy, including new material on genetics, food law, food production, and using the Internet as an information source.
