Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism

Description

ADVANCED NUTRITION AND HUMAN METABOLISM is current, relevant and designed to maximize clarity of essential concepts. This longtime best-seller delivers its content in a student-friendly way. With new figures, new art and key updates throughout, the 8th edition continues to set the standard for the course through its ability to clearly explain even the most complex metabolic processes and concepts. Appropriate for undergraduate and graduate level courses, the book gives students a solid understanding of digestion, absorption, and metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates; examines the structures and functions of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins; and provides information on nutrient food sources, recommended intakes, deficiency and toxicity. With ADVANCED NUTRITION AND HUMAN METABOLISM, 8th Edition, students will be well prepared to continue their studies in the field of nutrition.
