Contemporary Nutrition

Contemporary Nutrition Seventh Edition is designed for students with little or no background in college-level biology, chemistry or physiology. It will provide students who lack a strong science background the ideal balance of reliable nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge. With their friendly writing style, the authors act as the student's personal guide to dispelling common misconceptions and to gaining a solid foundation for making informed nutrition choices.
