Product Info

It can seem that nutritional advice is constantly shifting: first we're told margarine is healthier than butter, then we're told that it raises LDL (bad) cholesterol. We're urged to adopt a low-fat diet, only to discover that certain aspects of it can increase the risk of heart disease. With up-to-date facts presented in a clear and uncomplicated way, Nutrition You Need to Know debunks dietary myths and offers practical information that can be used in real life. Unlike other texts in the field that require knowledge of chemistry, this text does not, making it particularly useful for students with no previous background in nutrition.

Offering frank discussions about the obesity epidemic in America, the book examines the basic components of our food (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals) and shows how they can reduce the risk for disease. The book also provides practical information on reading food labels to pick the healthiest foods. Whether readers are first-year Nutrition students or just interested in trying to make sense of today's ever-changing nutrition news, Nutrition You Need to Know will open their eyes to the basic principles of nutrition.
