I purchased this book after finding I just didn't 'get along' with the other books on my reading list, for an introduction to human nutrition this really is the book to have. It is much easier to read and understand and memorise the data than other books, which seem to trawl out the same information over pages and pages without diagrams and colour. I blame this book for me achieving the best mark in both my biochem and my human nutrition exams. I used it as a key text but also as a revision tool. It really is the best first year book I purchased.

This text was purchased for me by a relative as it was not on my list of core texts to buy, but I'm so glad I had it! It was clear concise information on the biochemistry being all the macro-nutrients, and short detailed paragraphs on deficiency and toxicity. I used this book to revise for exams, but I now use it when I'm writing a presentation to the public, because it simplifies that information well. It is written in simple terminology so the lay person would understand it. I think anyone with an interest in nutrition would get something out of this book.
