Book Description
Covers the whole field of nutrition. Describes the major foods and nutrients and their functions in healthy humans of all ages, and the nutritional management of clinical disease states. Takes into account current problems facing nutritionists: the fact that disease prevalence is significantly associated with intake of non-starch polysaccharide, different types of fat, fruit, alcohol, etc., which cannot be explained on the basis of satisfying known nutrient requirements; the fact that it is now necessary to provide nutritional support to people who would not have been viable at the time the first edition of this book was written, e.g., patients with extensive resection of bowel, patients with impaired immunity due to disease or suppression by drugs, and extremely premature babies; and the recognition of harm done by excess intake. A textbook for students of nutrition and dietetics.
