Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: My go to book This book has proved invaluable to me during the course of my studies towards as degree in dietetics. I purchased it for my first nutrition class, but have used it over and over again. This book continues to be a great reference book! Seems like a good book Used the book for my Nutrition class, from what I actually read it was a good book. The class did not use the material in the book. Great Book, Poor delivery! The book is great, however the time that it took to get here was incredibly disappointing. To be exact it took more than 3 weeks to arrive, that to me is unacceptable considering the book was in stock and the other items I purchased arrived within 5 days from purchase date. Nice, good, and cheap It was much cheaper than buying from my school's bookstore. And it's the exact same book. Buy internet not school bookstore. A 3 star rating with reservations I had to give this book a 3 star rating for the ease of information it contains concerning the enzymatic pathways used by each vitamin or mineral. The book is also easy to read. Having said that however, this book is typical American Dietetic Association Clap Trap. I have both the 6th and 7th Editions of this book and with only small qualifications in the 7th edition, both books endorse aspartame and condemn stevia, regurgitate standard government misinformation about nutrition, knock dietary supplements, and actually list Steven Barrett's Quackwatch site as a reliable source of information on what is quackery and what is not! The chapters on Cancer and HIV and Nutrition are virtually useless. If you do buy this book for the basic information it contains on metabolic pathways and co-enzyme structures, then do yourself a favor and also get "Clinical Nutrition, A Functional Approach", put out by the Institute for Functional Medicine, and "The Real Vitamin and Mineral Book", by Shari Lieberman, among others. Find out the Real Cutting Edge science of Nutrition and why standard American Dietetic Association Fare with their Corrupt Corporate sponsors calling the shots in Government Nutrition information is not reliable. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
