Product Description
From Amazon
Health reporter Carol Ann Rinzler has produced a comprehensive volume ideal for both occasional reference and a more in-depth introduction to nutrition. Nutrition for Dummies discusses vitamins, minerals, fat content, carbohydrates, and more, prescribing practical ways to incorporate more nutritious eating into everyday life. Particularly helpful is the nutrient chart in the back of the book, which includes extensive nutritional information (gleaned from the USDA Nutrient Database) about hundreds of foods and instructions for accessing the entire database via the Web.

Lots of food for thoughts here,
By
Ce commentaire est de: Nutrition For Dummies®, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Like any book of the Dummies series, this book provides a lot of information, and establishes a strong foundation in an incredibly complex and confusing field. I am a big fan of the Dummies series. Thanks to them, I learned a varied set of skills including EXCEL software, Chess, and cooking. But, nutrition is far more confusing than a user friendly software program.This book gives you all the basics you need to know about nutrition. This includes a good description of the macro nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats). The author even describes their respective chemical molecular compositions. Coverage of micro nutrients (vitamins, minerals) is just as good. This book gives you the information so you will eat healthily, understand what you eat, and what are your eating requirements. It is just like an excellent textbook for a college level course on nutrition. Except, as all Dummies book, it is a lot funnier and user friendly to read and extract the information than a college textbook.

Ce commentaire est de: Nutrition For Dummies®, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This is an excellent source of information organized in an easy-to-read format. It covers an entire range of topics from basic facts to healthy eating and food preparation. Much of the data is arranged in chart and table formats, which make it a great reference guide.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book on Nutrition,
Ce commentaire est de: Nutrition For Dummies®, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Did the author really needed a whole chapter on alchohol? I thought some of the infomation in this book was talked about a little too much like about how our food is digested or what to do when eating out at a resturant or at a fast food joint. What I liked about the book was it was very laid out and easy to read. Some of the infomation the book mentions are the basics of nutrition, how much nutrition you need, what types of vitamins and minerals are there.
