By Pixie Stix - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Personal Nutrition (Paperback)

This book was not required but highly recommended by my professor for my class. It's worth the money. Easy to read and understand. Get this book if you want to learn about nutrition (whether in a nutrition class or not) in a clear and understandable manner!

5.0 out of 5 stars love this book, Mar 7 2007

By conventional mom - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Personal Nutrition [With CDROM and Infotrac] (Paperback)

This book is a must have. It dispells myths and has current up-to-date information on diets, using sugar sweetners (splenda,aspartame etc) great ideas on how to lower cholesterol, foods that are high in carbs, vitamins, fats, minerals etc. Great to use for teaching purposes as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wealth of Knowledge, July 21 2010

This review is from: Personal Nutrition (Paperback)

I had to get this book for an online basic nutrition course. It was a favorite out of all of the books I've had. Very easy to read, with a wealth of detailed knowledge thats clearly presented. Key "vocab" words are pushed out to the sides, making it easy to find while flipping back through. Excellent appendices with TONS of relevant knowledge. Great stories on "non-traditional" concepts in Health and Wellness. I'll be keeping this book for my own references in the future...
