Editorial Reviews:

The leading and most current text available for the capstone level undergraduate nutrition course, Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism, Fourth Edition provides a sophisticated understanding of digestion, absorption and metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates. It covers the biochemistry of vitamins, minerals, and energy nutrients. In addition, the text examines the structure and function of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins and their regulatory role in metabolism, looks at electrolyte and fluid balance, and examines the role of nutrition in the development or exacerbation of chronic disease. This text continues to set the hallmark for this course through the authors’ ability to clearly and accurately explain even the most complex metabolic processes and concepts.

Summary: Metabolism
Comment: I found explanations of the pathways to be OK. However, some of the information needed to be further explained and some of the information seemed to be contradicting.

Summary: Odd Complaint & Reason to Buy
Comment: My only complaint is that the pages are as thin as tissue paper, otherwise it is a superb text.
I mostly bought it to silence my mother who is a big Adelle Davis fan. For those out there who aren't ancient enough to remember that hypocritical nutritionist, she had a series of bestsellers in the '60's, but smoked and died from cancer. Anyway this book did the trick--mom quit giving me crackpot advise about vitamins.
Customer Rating:
