Excellent Book!!!
As physicians, we are used to prescribe and trust only on pharmacotherapy. This book gives you a medical approach to nutrition therapy to add effective counseling and a scientific approach to your patient's nutricional issues, in order to add a new therapeutical tool to your daily practice. �obese patients? it is just not enought to say "cut out haburgers, eat more salad" a problem-oriented anamnesis and special physical measurements must be done. Wanna know the diference between a diet for a COPD patient and one with arthritis? this book gives you the theoretical basis as well as the "for dummies" approach

Can't Live Without It
This book is the required text of my dietetics coursework time and time again and thus I use it extensively. At first I resented the very large and heavy book, but more and more I find myself turning to it for answers, even for things that aren't school-related. My university has a book rental program. Previously I'd only rented the book, but now, as I sit inbetween semesters, I find myself missing it terribly. The moment the bookstore opens I will be buying this book for keeps.

Readable, in-depth discussion of nutrition and metabolism.
Currently, many people are becoming seriously interested in the role of nutrition in human health. Fortunately, there are many good books on nutrition and health for the interested lay person. But once one begins to understand the extreme importance of nutrition for achieving and maintaining good health where can a seriously interested lay person turn for more detailed information? The answer is to this book. Yes, this book requires some serious study, but it is quite well written and does not require a degree in chemistry or biology to follow. A dilligent lay person can gain much valuable information from it. If you are really serious about understanding the role of nutrition in human health I highly recommend this book.

The best advanced nutrition book I know.
If you want (or need) to go deep into nutrition, this is the book. Very well organized and researched information. Covers in depth nutritional physiology and biochemistry. I used this book in an advanced undergraduate nutrition course and I consider it one of my prized possessions. If there is a better book on the subject, I would like to know about it.

Best biochemical nutrition textbook!
I am a graduate student who majors in Nutrition. This is a best biochemical nutrition textbook I ever read! What I like about this textbook is: (1) relatively light weight (575 pages) for this type of textbook,yet very comprehensive. It contains from basic physiology and biochemistry to a current field such as antioxidant nutrition; (2) a large amount of well summarized figures (almost every page has al least one figure); (3) plain English; (4) each chapter concludes with annotated bibliography so that you could use this book as a sort of literature review on a specific field; (5) well-made index, so that you could use this as a sort of encyclopedia of nutrition. Title says "advanced", but I recommend this book to undergraduate students who look for explanation on the biochemistry basis in the nutrition field. ... Read more

Bowes & Church's Food Values of Portions Commonly Used
This book has good information, however, is not very useful for vegetarians or people who use frozen meals.There have been several food items that I looked up and could not find.It has more detail than the average person needs.

18th Edition Commentary
Compared to past editions, the newest one is more comprehensive.For example, analytical data is provided for each food item under salicylic acid, whereas past editions grouped foods by salicylate content categories. The only negative for me is the tiny print.

Wonderful Resource!
I purchased this book several years ago when I started counting carbohydrates.A nutritionist recommened it as being the most comprehensive resource of its kind.I have found it invaluable.The fact that is not only contains prepackaged food, but fresh foods, meats, homemade items and even some common restaurants (along with many many other catagories), makes it THE perfect resource. ...

Well worth passing over
If you are looking for Government regulated information, then you will find it in this book. I was looking forward to reading this book and learning from it, yet I find myself more than disappointed. Her views on natural medicine, herbs, and the like are far from enlightened or open. She has a dim view of anything not viewed from "scientific research". This book reminds me of the government propaganda in the 50's and 60's.
Nutrition Now by Judith E Brown
This book is easy to ready, comprehend and enjoy. It is a required text at the University I attend, and I was suprised to find it so easy to read.I really like this book, I find many of the pictures to look like the pictures I grew up with in my text books in Jr High and the commercials I watched.

Excellent Book for Nutrition Class
I actually enjoy reading this book for class. Especially since the chapters are written in an informative yet easy to understand way. On the inside cover there is a quick guide to the DV of minerals and other supplements that has come in handy outside of class. Worth the money if you are looking for a textbook!

A student's opinion
This textbook is actually one that is recommended for the Nutrition course at my university.I found it very useful and informative for all aspects of the course.Information was displayed in a clear and colourful manner, which made taking it all a lot easier.The study questions at the end of each section came in very handy when revising for exams.In addition the lists of resources relating to each topic were helpful, enabling you to look at other sources for further reading.I found the 'highlights' in particular useful as they covered particular points (such as eating disorders or osteoporosis) in depth and related it to the different aspects of nutrition. Normal and Clinical Nutrition
I found this Nutrition book to very helpful.It is very informative and easy to understand. I enjoyed this book and will most likely keep it because it can be very helpful in the future.It contains information that is very helpful ... Read more

For nutrition's sake, keep this book next to your stove.
This book is much better than its reviews would suggest and is indeed essnetial reading for anyone concerned with nutrition and ways to eat more healthily in today's toxic world. We lve surrounded by poison. Or maybe a better way to put it is, there are a few wet green grapes in the barbed wire or today's fast-food paradise. And thia book teaches you how to go for the gusto.
Old information, Good format
I like the way the book is put together, but for a brand new book there shouldn't be nutrition information as old as 1983.You can find better then this.Keep looking. ... Read more

Objective a clear assesment information. The drawings and pictures are of great help to understand the methodologies. Thanks.

Disappointing Database
I purchased this software because not only was it recommended by my school but because a fellow nutrition student recommended it.It has wonderful features for charting and graphing nutrient intakes, but its database is sorely lacking.I would expect that they would have included at least what is readily available in the USDA Nutrient Database, but the software doesn't even come close.For those who eat mostly whole foods, the software is practically useless, especially since it only allows the user to add up to thirty of his or her own entries into the database.All the charts and graphs in the world won't help if they don't accurately reflect what I've eaten!One would be better off using the free, online software at the USDA's website: http://209.48.219.53/. ...
