The Encyclopedia of Nutrition & Good Health

Containing over 2,500 entries written in clear, concise language, extensive cross-references, and a comprehensive index, The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health is a detailed, thoroughly researched reference work that renders the current, and often confusing, explosion of nutritional information accessible and manageable. It effectively describes food ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits, proteins, and herbs; foods and related health benefits; causes of degenerative diseases and conditions related to poor nutrition; processed foods, food additives, and their possible side effects; the link between certain foods, cancer, and cancer prevention; food allergies, eating disorders, aging, and more.
