CRC desk reference for nutrition By Carolyn D Berdanier
2005 | 518 Pages | ISBN: 0849338352 | PDF | 36 MB
"Following in the tradition of its popular predecessor, the CRC Desk Reference for Nutrition, Second Edition explains hundreds of terms commonly used in medicine, food science, metabolism, physiology, and nutrition. Thoroughly updated and expanded to reflect major advances over the past decade, this reference lists entries alphabetically and cross references them when multiple terms are used for the same definition. Each entry is followed either by a definition, paragraph, essay, composition, article, or feature article. Many of the more complex entries are supported with figures or tables. The text also includes two appendices. The first contains general information about meal planning and food selection, while the second provides a variety of metabolic maps that illustrate the pathways involved in major metabolic systems."--BOOK JACKET.
