This book is concise, well written, and addresses many nutritional issues with a seemingly unbiased and scientific perspective. Another book that is really good is Total Nutrition.

very conservative in the approach with supplements

this book disapointed me as a therapist because the knoledge in this book is interpreted to the recommandation of around the r.d.a wich is an old sad joke. there are however a certain thing in the term of knoledge that are basically fine, but in the overall recommandation is alternativly concervative=not practical in dealing with serious diseases

Concise introduction to nutrition for the lay person

Even though the title suggests that this book is a "reference", I found the chapters on macro and micronutrients to be a comprehensive starting point for learning more about nutrition. Easy to follow with many references to clinical studies, this book offers a lot for the lay person trying to decipher the recent flood of health advice regarding diet. Special chapters on how specific diseases relate to diet might have been more extensive, but otherwise the book was excellent.
