Ideal for both non-majors and mixed-majors, NUTRITION: CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERSIES provides practical applications and accessible explanations to dispel common misconceptions about nutrition and empower readers to make lasting behavior changes.

Known for its clear explanations that show you how topics relate to your life, the text provides the basics of nutrition--from how to be a good consumer to understanding the science of nutrition--and is packed with interactive learning tools and study aids to help you in your course.
