The "Second Edition" features new chapters on nutrition and health conditions (covering everything from Syndrome X to the link between folic acid and heart disease) and on the use and abuse of dietary supplements. There is more on women's health and nutrition, functional foods and phytonutrients for health; foodborne bacteria; managing body weight and today's popular diets; and nutritious ethnic food choices. With guidelines for people of all ages, this is the most complete and positive book on food and nutrition available today.
