Author Description

Extensively revised, updated, and expanded, this third edition takes into account references on controversial issues from the most recent literature on the subject. Significant additions include new chapters on trace elements and fibres, more information in the section on clinical dietetics, and revised food tables from the most authoritative sources. Attractively written, it will be useful not only to postgraduate and undergraduate medical students and dieticians, but also to the lay reader, particularly those interested in providing a healthy diet on a limited family budget.
