Review

“[A] great reference for students pursuing health-related degrees,…[and] a nice “go-to” for other allied health professionals looking for an introduction to nutrition topics…. The book covers a lot of ground…. [including] new and notable topics: the microbiota, probiotics and prebiotics, sustainable diets, sweeteners, traditional and indigenous foods for food security and sovereignty, and ultra-processed foods. The details provided are concise, with figures and tables to further clarify the information provided…. [O]ffers an easy way to quickly search for information about human nutrition. Given the plethora of updates since the third edition in 2013, this is a welcome update with new topics included.” –©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Amy Hess Fischl, MS RDN LDN BC-ADM CDCES (University of Chicago Medical Center)
