What is Nutrition : Concepts and Controversies about?

Abstract: An authoritative text for the general public covers numerous nutrition facts and related controversies. Topics include the human body's basic nutrient needs, food groups, nutrient density, food exchanges and how new food choices complicate the attainment of an adequate diet; recommended nutrient allowances and U.S. and Canadian nutrients surveys; energy nutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins) and their metabolic roles; energy balance vs. overweight, obesity, and underweight; weight control guidelines; water and micronutrients; food safety; nutritional tips for vegetarians and for those who eat out often; and nutritional guidance for various age groups, from birth to the elderly. Food features in each of the 15 chapters link theory with practice and offer advice for everyday living. A section on optional reading (representing controversies) follows each chapter and focuses on nutritional topics of current interest. (wz)
